He cited Jameson Lopp, a Bitcoin developer, who has estimated a 50% risk in 4-9 years, and a math PhD doctor specializing in quantum computing who believes Bitcoin has 2-6 years before its encryption is broken by quantum technology.<\/p>\n<p>He concluded by noting that McKinsey, one of the world\u2019s largest management consultancy firms, has forecast that \u201cQ-Day\u201d will break both RSA and ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) encryption within 2-10 years, with ECC being the encryption method used in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>A 2017 Bitcoin quantum paper by Microsoft, BP, INQ, and Meta researchers stating that only 2300 logical qubits are needed to break Bitcoin\u2019s ECC, with projections indicating this capability could be achieved by around 2028\u20132030.<\/p>\n<p>To get ahead of the issue, Edwards recommends transitioning to quantum-resistant algorithms right away. \u201cBitcoin needs to transition to quantum-resistant algorithms like those based on lattice cryptography or hash-based signatures as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the change, Edwards says users will need to transfer funds to new addresses secured by quantum-resistant encryption. He warns that failing to do so could result in mass theft and a loss of trust in the $2T asset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<div class=\"chart crypto-chart-instance\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43\" data-coin-id=\"bitcoin\">\n<div class=\"chart__header\">\n<div class=\"chart__info\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<img id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-chart__info-icon-img\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"chart__info-name\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-chart__info-name\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-symbol\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-chart__info-symbol\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-current\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-price\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-chart__info-price\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-change\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-chart__info-change\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-extra\">\n<div class=\"chart__info-label\">Market Cap<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__info-marketcap\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-chart__info-marketcap\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__controls\">\n<div class=\"chart__controls-group\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--24h\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-btn-24h\">24h<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--7d\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-btn-7d\">7d<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--30d\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-btn-30d\">30d<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--1y\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-btn-1y\">1y<\/button><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"chart__button chart__button--all-time\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-btn-all-time\">All Time<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"chart__container\">\n\t\t<canvas class=\"chart__canvas\" id=\"crypto_chart_68f0ae8dc9e43-cryptoChart\"><\/canvas>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Satoshi\u2019s Billions at Risk If the Industry Doesn\u2019t Act Fast<\/h2>\n<p>If Bitcoin developers and the broader community do not take the quantum computing threat seriously, BTC is at risk of going to zero.
