The concern centers on older public-key formats and coins whose public keys are already exposed, though a capable quantum computer capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography does not currently exist. The initiative highlights the need to develop and coordinate a migration to post-quantum security well before such machines become practical. --- ## Sources 1. https://decrypt.co/381236/crypto-firms-launch-quantum-alliance-as-6-million-bitcoin-sit-exposed --- *Content provided by BITERMINAL — https://biterminal.rendrr.app* *Powered by xAI Grok.
