Is Quantum Computing Placing Bitcoin’s Future in Jeopardy? Quantum Expert Andrew Fursman on Future of Crypto
Quantum computing expert Andrew Fursman is convinced quantum attacks in the future will pose a threat to the security of Bitcoin (BTC).
In a video, Fursman highlights that the massive computational potential of quantum machines could be capable of compromising Bitcoin’s security.
“It’s mathematically proven that if you have a device that looks like the kind of quantum computers that people want to build, then you will be capable of decrypting this information significantly better than could ever be possible with classical devices.”
Fursman argues that regardless of when quantum computers come of age, a solution needs to be found.
“Whether quantum computers come out tomorrow or in five years or in ten years, they are capable of being cryptographically useful. Those devices are going to be capable of doing something that you might not...
