Quantum Alliance Says 6.04 Million Bitcoin Are Exposed
Nine blockchain firms formed the Quantum Alliance to standardize quantum-resistance testing, warning 6.04 million BTC sit exposed. Bitcoin held at $82,147, up +0.73%, a move unrelated to the quantum news.
Quantum computing may still be years away, but migration plans reportedly take years to build. If a working quantum computer eventually threatens old Bitcoin addresses, who decides when and how the network upgrades, and what happens to the coins whose owners never move them in time? Millions of bitcoin sit in dormant, exposed wallets today, and no governance process yet exists to answer that question.
