#量子计算威胁 Recently, there has been quite a heated debate in the community about the threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin. Let me break down this discussion.



The core point is very clear: Bitcoin Core developer Jameson Lopp has provided a relatively rational assessment—quantum computers will not crack Bitcoin in the short term, but if an upgrade to the protocol is needed to prevent this, it would take 5 to 10 years. This time frame actually reveals the truth: we neither need to panic excessively nor can we be complacent.

Why does it take so long? Simply put, Bitcoin is a public blockchain involving complex issues such as global consensus, fund migration, and forward compatibility. Modifying it is not as simple as updating an app; it’s an unprecedented system upgrade.

Interestingly, some people question whether certain viewpoints are creating anxiety or even imply vested interests. This reminds us: in an era of information explosion, we must learn to distinguish truth from falsehood, understand the logic behind different voices, and not be swayed by emotions.

This is also what Web3 teaches us—decentralization is not just a technical architecture but a way of thinking. When facing any challenge, the community can discuss rationally and make collective decisions. In the long run, this is more valuable than any single solution. Bitcoin has endured countless moments predicting its death; its true strength comes from the self-improving ability of this open system.
