🚀 Quantum Computing's Impact on Bitcoin Mining Assessed by BTQ Technologies

BTQ Technologies has released a research paper titled 'Kardashev Scale Quantum Computing for Bitcoin Mining,' which provides a quantitative evaluation of the physical costs associated with using quantum computing for Bitcoin mining. According to ChainCatcher, the study highlights a common market confusion between two types of quantum threats: attacks on Bitcoin's elliptic curve digital signatures, which are considered real and urgent, and quantum mining accelerated by Grover's algorithm, which is theoretically possible but extremely costly in practice.

The paper argues that to significantly impact consensus, a quantum computing cluster with energy consumption far exceeding current human civilization levels would be required. The research introduces an open-source resource estimation model that includes key components such as reversible double SHA-256 computation, fault-tolerant quantum error correction, and large-scale qubit scheduling. The conclusion emphasizes that the more immediate risk to Bitcoin arises from vulnerabilities in cryptographic signatures rather than quantum mining capabilities.

🚀 Michael Saylor Suggests Bitcoin May Have Bottomed, Downplays Quantum Computing Risks

PANews posted on X (formerly Twitter). Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, expressed at a Mizuho event that Bitcoin likely reached its bottom near $60,000 in early February. He attributed this bottoming more to a depletion of sellers rather than valuation factors. Saylor noted that current selling pressure is limited, with ETF inflows absorbing daily supply and corporations allocating treasury assets to Bitcoin, which sustains demand.

Regarding the recent discussions on the threat of quantum computing, Saylor believes the risks are overstated. He stated that the threat remains theoretical and may not need to be addressed for several decades, by which time solutions will likely be available.

🚀 Bitcoin Developer Adam Back Addresses Quantum Computing Concerns

Bitcoin developer Adam Back has dismissed fears of a quantum computing crisis, asserting that humanity has at least a decade to prepare. According to Bitalk News, Back emphasized that current quantum hardware is still in its infancy, lacking error correction capabilities, and has only achieved basic calculations such as elementary-level factorization. He noted that Google's recent paper merely improved algorithms without any hardware breakthroughs.

Back reassured that Bitcoin has ample time to adapt, with Liquid serving as a Layer 2 testing ground that has historically been adopted by the Bitcoin main chain after new signature formats were introduced. He argued that genuine solutions are already in progress, and that media-driven panic is more about selling headlines than reflecting technical realities.
