Tom Lee Warns of Quantum Risk for Bitcoin in 2028 and Beyond
Tom Lee, a well-known cryptocurrency expert, has brought attention to a potential risk for Bitcoin in the post-2028 quantum computer era.
According to Lee, this risk could arise between 2028 and 2029. The focus of technical discussions is on around 7 million BTC, which is approximately 30-35% of the total supply.
The reason behind the sensitivity of these assets is that they have visible open keys, making them more vulnerable to potential attacks.
Bitcoin developers are currently evaluating a switch to quantum-resistant signature systems before the threat grows.
