When it comes to the quantum computing threat to crypto, the focus is
often on Bitcoin and for good reason. The blockchain lacks a defined
governance structure and the vulnerability around Satoshi's and other
abandoned and lost coins is far greater than on any other chain.
Furthermore, influential figures like Nic Carter have accused developers of sleeping at the wheel.
Bitcoin Core contributor Matt Corallo argues that it won't take much to
make the network quantum-resistant and, contrary to popular narrative,
says work is already underway.
Find out why Corallo says quantum-proofing Bitcoin requires only two
steps ”you burn old lost coins, you burn anyone who hasn't migrated.”
