Tether CEO Predicts Bitcoin's Future Amid Quantum Computing Concerns

According to BlockBeats, on February 9, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino shared his insights on the potential impact of quantum computing on Bitcoin's security. Ardoino stated that quantum computing is still far from posing a real threat to Bitcoin's cryptographic security. He anticipates that Bitcoin will adopt quantum-resistant addresses before quantum computing becomes a significant threat. Ardoino further explained that individuals who still have access to their wallets will transfer their Bitcoin to these new quantum-resistant addresses. However, he noted that Bitcoin stored in lost wallets, including those possibly belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto if he is deceased, could be hacked and recirculated once quantum computing advances sufficiently.
