The debate over Bitcoin's safety from quantum threats has resurfaced, with Blockstream CEO Adam Back asserting that the Taproot feature is sufficient for protection. He dismisses concerns over BIP 360, advocating for adaptations only when real quantum threats arise. Other stakeholders, including JAN3's Samson Mow, share similar sentiments, stating there are no immediate dangers from quantum computing.

Bitcoin’s market cap has surpassed $2 trillion, but around 61% of BTC hasn’t moved in over a year, and nearly 14% has remained untouched for more than a decade. However, technological breakthroughs in the past two years are fundamentally changing this landscape. The Taproot upgrade, the BitVM validation model, and the emergence of native Bitcoin assets and staking systems are, for the first time, enabling holders to earn yield on BTC and participate in the DeFi ecosystem without relying on custodians or wrapped tokens.

Key takeaways: Bitcoin evolves on two clocks: slow, consensus-driven changes at the base layer and fast experimentation at the edges. Major upgrades (such as Taproot) arrive through cautious soft forks after long review. Rapid shifts such as Lightning payments and Ordinals happen without

According to Mars Finance, on-chain analyst Willy Woo tweeted that the future "Quantum Computer Era" may allow public keys to be reverse-engineered to obtain private keys, leading to asset risks. Currently, Taproot addresses starting with "bc1p" are not quantum safe, while SegWit addresses starting with "bc1q" still provide protection. He advises users to transfer BTC to SegWit or legacy format addresses and to avoid spending before upgrading to quantum-safe protocols to prevent exposing public keys. Woo expects that the Bitcoin network will complete its quantum safety upgrade in approximately 7 years, and the quantum threat may emerge as early as after 2030.

In November 2025, well-known Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo released a guide on protecting Bitcoin against quantum computing threats, warning that current Taproot addresses (starting with "bc1p") face potential risks due to embedded public keys. He recommends users transfer funds to SegWit addresses ("bc1q") or traditional addresses ("1" or "3"). Quantum computing is regarded by experts as a potential existential threat to Bitcoin's cryptography foundation (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm ECDSA). The quantum doomsday clock predicts that Bitcoin encryption could be compromised as early as March 2028, while other experts like Naoris Protocol CEO David Carvalho believe the risk window is 2-3 years. Woo also confirms that Bitcoin held in ETFs, corporate treasuries, and exchange cold wallets can remain secure if proper measures are taken. However, Satoshi Nakamoto's 1 million Bitcoins, which use outdated P2PK addresses, may become among the first targets for attack.

Bitcoin has grown from Satoshi Nakamoto’s 2008 whitepaper into a $2 trillion financial asset driving global adoption. El Salvador’s legal adoption and U.S. Bitcoin ETFs mark Bitcoin’s entry into mainstream finance. Upgrades like SegWit, Taproot, and Ordinals have expanded Bitcoin’s efficiency,

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the three major upgrades of Bitcoin SegWit technology from SegWit to Taproot and TaprootAssets, emphasizing the development history of Bitcoin's scalability and capability enhancement. The author points out that understanding the evolution of these technologies helps in designing related products, and through analyzing the changes in Bitcoin transactions and the improvements in the function of OP_RETURN, it delves into the impact of SegWit technology on the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Authors: Fu Shaoqing, SatoshiLab, All Things Island BTC Studio 1. Introduction When studying Bitcoin technology, the author found that understanding SegWit, Taproot, and TaprootAssets from the perspective of the development history of the isolation witness makes it easier to learn and grasp their evolutionary patterns. This approach also helps better understand the Taproot Assets protocol developed by the Lightning Network Laboratory, enabling a clearer understanding of the role of Universe and the functionalities that the TaprootAssets protocol can achieve, as well as its potential future developments. With these insights, it becomes easier to design related products for users to utilize. Reading this article also requires two important perspectives: Bitcoin scalability and Bitcoin capacity enhancement. Scalability refers to expanding the data capacity that Bitcoin can use and manage. In the early days, this was limited to the block size.

Ducat Protocol has launched a permissionless liquidation system on Bitcoin Layer 1, enabling decentralized liquidations and equitable access to credit. The system uses Taproot and multi-party computation for a secure, trustless infrastructure, already live on testnet with significant engagement.

Jimmy Song critiques the Taproot upgrade for failing to anticipate the emergence of non-financial data inscriptions on the Bitcoin blockchain. He argues it does not fulfill its privacy and security promises, as transaction patterns and addresses remain identifiable, and many users still utilize less secure legacy addresses. Song also highlights the neglect of risks associated with social attacks, which undermines Bitcoin's financial objectives.

The Floor Price of the Bitcoin NFT Quantum Cats has sharply fallen after the Taproot Wizards minting incentives ended, with a decline of 54% compared to the relative stability of other Bitcoin NFTs like NodeMonkes and Bitcoin Puppets. The Taproot Wizards minting event provided discounts that stimulated the holders of Quantum Cats, but after the minting ended, it lost momentum, leading to sales. This event brought the price of Quantum Cats closer to its peers, ending a long-standing premium.

Bitcoin creator Craig Wright claims that modern BTC developers have deviated from its fundamental principles and has filed a lawsuit seeking over $1.18 billion.

The defendants include BTC core developers and payment services associated with Jack Dorsey. However, experts express doubts about the feasibility of his claims.

If it can realize Decentralized Finance applications such as Cross-Chain Interaction Liquidity Mining, atomic Cross-Chain Interaction lending, Cross-Chain Interaction DEX, it will bring native stablecoins, native lending, native DEX, and other functions to the BTC ecosystem.

BTC can introduce new features through community Consensus upgrades. Segregated Witness (SegWit) and Taproot upgrades are important milestones for BTC. Meanwhile, OP\_CAT (BIP-420) is a significant upgrade for the future, which can connect multiple elements, allow proof of validation, and enable STARK verification. This will completely change the BTC ecosystem and the entire Cryptocurrency field. Through the upgrade, BTC can achieve more efficient and private transactions, promoting BTC deposits and withdrawals. BTC will become the cornerstone for building digital infrastructure and finance.
