Bitcoin Core Dev Responds to Quantum Collapse Claims

Description

Has Bitcoin’s quantum risk been overstated — or underestimated? In this episode of Unchained, Laura Shin speaks with Matt Corallo, Open Source Engineer at Block/Spiral, in response to Nic Carter’s claim that Bitcoin developers are “sleepwalking toward collapse.” They discuss how real the quantum computing threat is, whether a “Q-day” could arrive abruptly, what a post-quantum migration would require, and who Bitcoin developers are actually building for — long-term protocol stability, large institutional holders, or the broader community. The conversation also covers Taproot’s quantum exposure, the challenge of migrating millions of addresses, the fate of lost coins, and whether major ETF issuers like BlackRock could push for changes if they believe the risk is not being addressed. #Unchained #Bitcoin #QuantumComputing #CryptoPolicy
