✍️ Bitcoin may face a political crisis if powerful quantum computers arrive, as the community may not agree on how to protect coins that have not moved for years.
👉 Roughly 32.4% of all Bitcoin has not moved in the past five years 👉 Nearly 17% of Bitcoin has stayed still for more than a decade 👉 Bitcoin's current protection relies on ECDSA and Schnorr signatures, which can be broken by Shor's algorithm if a large enough quantum computer appears 👉 Estimates place a workable attack window in the late 2020s or early 2030s 👉 Some actors are already changing how they handle Bitcoin to lower risk
