Unraveling Bitcoin’s Quantum Problem

January 10, 2026

We break down the difference between bits and qubits, explain why Shor’s algorithm threatens elliptic curve cryptography, and debate the fate of Satoshi’s vulnerable coins. It’s a deep dive into encryption, timeline predictions, and the massive coordination challenge facing the Bitcoin network to upgrade before it’s too late.
