Recent statements by CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju that quantum computers do not pose a threat to Bitcoin align with Blockstream CEO Adam Back's opinion.

Impact of Quantum Technologies on Bitcoin

Bitcoin developers and the crypto community are actively discussing the impact of quantum computers on cryptocurrency security. This debate was prompted by Google's release of the new quantum chip Willow, capable of performing complex computations much faster than traditional supercomputers. The use of quantum bits enables quantum computers to process numerous calculations simultaneously, posing a potential threat to encryption algorithms such as SHA-256, used in Bitcoin.

Adam Back's Commentary

Adam Back, one of the creators of the Proof-of-Work algorithm, stated that quantum computers are currently incapable of threatening Bitcoin's security. Willow now operates on 105 qubits, while at least one million qubits would be needed to break Bitcoin. Back is confident that Bitcoin's cryptography is robust enough to withstand potential risks posed by quantum computers.

We are nowhere near building computers with 1 million qubits this decade or likely the next.Adam Back

Future Prospects for Bitcoin

Despite the possible risks associated with quantum technologies, the crypto community is committed to digital asset security. Ava Labs CEO Emin Gün Sirer has suggested freezing Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoins to prevent quantum computer threats. In the long term, Bitcoin and quantum technologies could coexist if developers continue to enhance security mechanisms and encryption algorithms.

Experts agree that quantum computers will not harm Bitcoin in the coming decades. The crypto community will continue to develop protective measures to ensure the security of its digital assets.
