$BTC Faces Quantum Threat: Upgrade or Risk Collapse

David Carvalho, CEO of Naoris Protocol, warns that quantum computing could break Bitcoin’s cryptography within 5 years—or even sooner. With 100 quantum computers already operational and 5,000 projected by 2030, the threat to Bitcoin’s $2.2T market cap is real.

⚠️ Why it matters:

• 30% of Bitcoin (6.2M coins) is vulnerable in P2PK or reused P2PK-hash addresses.

• A single breach could shatter 16 years of trust.

• “Harvest now, decrypt later” attacks are already in motion.

🛠️ Solutions exist:

• Quantum-secure standards (e.g., BIP-360, hybrid models).

• Hard forks or layered security to protect transactions.

⏰ Time’s running out: Bitcoin’s community must act now to evolve for “Q-Day,” when quantum computers can crack traditional cryptography. Complacency, not quantum, is the real risk.
