#比特币网络升级 Seeing the current debate about the risk of quantum attacks, the first thing that came to my mind was the major debate in 2011 about 51% attacks. Back then, many people were also exclaiming that Bitcoin was doomed. But what happened? The network is still alive today.

This script feels a bit familiar—Nic Carter raised the concern that 1.7 million BTC might be at risk, and immediately someone pointed out that his backing fund was promoting quantum-resistant tools. Adam Back came out to debunk the alarmist claims. Over ten years, the logic behind these interest chains has never changed. I’m not saying quantum threats don’t exist, but human nature is fully exposed when faced with technological anxiety.

Jameson Lopp’s statement is actually more grounded—short-term no worries, but a 5 to 10-year window for upgrades must be prepared in advance. I’ve seen this approach countless times: true builders don’t create panic; they pragmatically plan for worst-case scenarios. Every major upgrade since Bitcoin’s inception—be it SegWit, block size debates, or Taproot—has followed this rhythm of weighing, compromise, and years of development.

So, at its core, this discussion is still testing the resilience of consensus. The real threat of quantum computing might still be years away, but all the discussions and preparations we’re doing now are paving the way for that hypothetical future. This reflects the network’s maturity more than any price fluctuation ever could.

History has shown me that projects that survive each wave of anxiety are the ones that deserve to thrive into the next decade.
