StarkWare cryptographer just dropped a bomb: $BTC is NOT safe from quantum computing threats.
His exact words? "We need a nuclear bunker to protect wallets. Right now, it's a big threat."
Even wilder—he's claiming the recent price action reflects quantum fears, and $BTC won't recover until the community agrees on a quantum-resistant fork.
This isn't some random dev. StarkWare builds zero-knowledge proof infrastructure. They know cryptography.
If quantum becomes real faster than expected, legacy wallets with exposed public keys are sitting ducks. We're talking about coins that haven't moved since 2010—Satoshi's stack, early miner wallets, all vulnerable.
The market might be pricing in this risk already. Fork discussions are heating up, but consensus? That's gonna take time, drama, and probably a few chain splits.
Keep an eye on quantum-resistant chains and wallet migrations. This could be the next black swan no one's ready for.
