đ¨ BREAKING: $SOL Co-Founder Warns â âBitcoin Will Die by 2030 Without Quantum Upgradeâ
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana, has issued a stark warning: Bitcoinâs elliptic-curve signatures could be broken by quantum computers within 5 years, giving it a 50/50 survival chance without urgent action.
He insists Bitcoin must hard fork to quantum-resistant cryptography or face collapse by 2030. Yakovenko compares the risk to AIâs explosive growth â saying breakthroughs can arrive far faster than expected, and once big tech rolls out quantum-resistant stacks, Bitcoin canât afford to lag.
Not all agree. Adam Back says the threat is still distant, and Peter Todd argues current quantum hardware isnât close to breaking real-world ECDSA. Others point to more immediate risks like spam and governance issues.
âĄď¸ Still, Yakovenkoâs bombshell puts Bitcoinâs long-term security under the spotlight â raising the question: will BTC adapt in time, or risk becoming obsolete in the quantum era?
