The Quantum panic made another round this week as a "doomsday clock" claims that<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> keys could be cracked by 2028. Samson Mow, known for his bold $1 million BTC call, shut down the panic in a recent<a href="https://x.com/Excellion/status/1997909162131419396?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">interview</a>, saying people keep stressing over the wrong things, and Bitcoin is not one of them.
Mow maintains the same argument in every conversation: if a quantum system ever becomes strong enough to break elliptic curve cryptography, it will target the traditional banking system first. Banks still use weaker encryption and lack a viable upgrade path.
What Mow stresses is that the market does not need to worry about Tether's reserves when your local bank uses a fractional model that would collapse under minimal pressure or worry about what price Strategy might sell Bitcoin at when most equities lose 10% a year on decaying cash positions. <img src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/doomsday.jpg" alt="&quot;&quot;">

Quantum systems would require thousands of logical qubits and millions of physical ones, as well as error rates far below what is currently available. Even under favorable assumptions, the runtime problem remains significant. P2PKH users would still have enough time to move coins before anyone tries to access them.
The bottom line of Samson Mow's thesis is straightforward:<a href="https://u.today/mcglone-bitcoin-likely-below-84k-by-year-end-2025" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin is not the weak point</a> in a quantum world, as everything else breaks first. <a href="https://u.today/quantum-computers-killing-bitcoin-1-million-btc-advocate-samson-mow-says-no-need-to-worry" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
