Panel discussion
Quantum Risks for Bitcoin: Reality or an Overhyped Bubble?
Quantum computers are frequently presented as an existential threat to Bitcoin — but how close to this reality are we actually? This panel will separate fact from hype. What scenarios are plausible and on what timescale? The discussion will also focus on how prepared Bitcoin is to adapt to this challenge and what steps the community is already taking today.
