At a recent discussion in Las Vegas, Galaxy Digital's Alex Thorn highlighted growing consensus in the Bitcoin community on quantum computing risks. Key points include a strong agreement that Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin holdings should remain untouched to protect property rights, as these coins are spread across many addresses, making quantum attacks difficult. Exchanges and active holders can upgrade to post-quantum addresses to reduce vulnerability. The community supports developing post-quantum cryptographic tools as a precaution, but prefers to store them for future use rather than immediate protocol changes. This cautious approach balances innovation with stability, acknowledging even a small quantum risk justifies ongoing research.
