Hey guys, just a heads-up about something we should all keep on our radar: quantum computers. They’re not a threat to Bitcoin yet, but once they’re powerful enough, they could break ECDSA (the cryptography behind our private keys) and weaken SHA-256.

Here’s how we can prepare:

• Use P2PKH addresses and avoid reusing addresses (keep your public keys private until you spend).

• Stay updated on Bitcoin devs working on quantum-resistant solutions.

• Start the conversation now about future-proofing Bitcoin before it’s too late.

Below is a video from Matthew Kratter’s Bitcoin University channel. Check it out:
