According to @caprioleio, Bitcoin must confront the quantum computing threat now to secure its next decade, a point he discussed on The Investors Podcast video at youtube.com/watch?v=dFknx-mRmKE, source: Charles Edwards on X (Nov 16, 2025); The Investors Podcast on YouTube. For trading context, Bitcoin’s current digital signatures (ECDSA and Schnorr over secp256k1) are theoretically vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm once sufficiently capable fault-tolerant quantum computers exist, making a migration path to post-quantum schemes a material security consideration, source: BIP340 Schnorr signatures; Bitcoin Core documentation; P. W. Shor, SIAM Journal on Computing. Standards progress is underway, with NIST finalizing initial post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024 (FIPS 203–206), providing concrete algorithm baselines that wallets and custodians can evaluate, source: NIST PQC standardization announcements (2024), FIPS 203–206. Actionable for traders, monitor three catalysts: new Bitcoin Improvement Proposals introducing post-quantum signatures, wallet software updates referencing NIST-approved PQC, and exchange or custodian security disclosures on PQ readiness, as highlighted by @caprioleio’s call for preparedness, source: Bitcoin BIPs repository; NIST PQC FIPS 203–206; major exchange security pages (e.g., Coinbase Security).
