Charles Edwards: Why Quantum Risk Could Be MASSIVE BTC Upside Catalyst

Charles Edwards argues that quantum computing poses a long-term threat to Bitcoin’s cryptography, particularly coins whose public keys are exposed, but says the risk could become an upside catalyst if developers and holders act early. A credible transition to quantum-resistant cryptography and a plan for vulnerable coins could strengthen confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term security. The near-term implication is not an imminent quantum attack, but pressure for proactive research, protocol upgrades, and clear communication as the technology advances.
