Bitcoin faces a critical question: how does the network adapt to quantum computing threats? Industry observers point out that strategic upgrades would actually reinforce BTC's security architecture rather than compromise it. The approach involves shifting active holdings toward quantum-resistant protocols while allowing dormant coins to remain in their current state. This isn't about panic—it's calculated evolution. Network resilience hinges on both technical innovation and effective governance decisions. As quantum capabilities advance, Bitcoin's ability to adapt through coordinated upgrades becomes the real measure of its long-term viability. The conversation around these defensive measures underscores why decentralized consensus matters.

What to do if quantum computing really arrives? Anyway, BTC will definitely need to upgrade. I've been optimistic about this approach for a long time.

The issue of quantum threats has long been something that should be taken seriously, not blown out of proportion.

The issue of quantum threats, to put it simply, is that Bitcoin is finally at the time to evolve.
