As the quantum threat to Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins continues, some analysts are warning that action is needed to address this threat urgently.
At this point, while industry leaders like Coinbase argue that there’s no rush into quantum resilience, Samson Mow has warned that rushing into addressing quantum resistance in Bitcoin could backfire.
Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin technology company Jan3, warned in an analysis posted on his X account that rushing to improve quantum resilience in response to Coinbase executives’ calls for faster action could inadvertently increase security risks.
Mow argued that a hasty implementation could lead to compatibility issues and decreased network efficiency.
He stated that quantum-resistant signatures could be 10 to 125 times larger than current ones, potentially reducing Bitcoin block capacity and transaction speed.
Mow emphasized that the possibility of quantum computers threatening Bitcoin’s security is 10-20 years away, stating, “A hasty solution would be the worst move.”
Mow stressed that preparing for quantum computing should not be rushed, as it could introduce security vulnerabilities to the current system, and that a cautious approach is necessary.
While Mow opposes rushing the transition to post-quantum cryptography for Bitcoin, he stressed that work on potential solutions should continue.
<blockquote>
 “Given that quantum computers don’t actually exist and probably won’t for another 10-20 years, the worst course of action is to rush into finding a solution.”
 But that doesn’t mean no work should be done on this preparation, and a great deal of work is already being done.”
</blockquote>
*This is not investment advice.
