An unnamed cryptographer warned Nov. 4 that Bitcoin (BTC) could be overtaken as the largest crypto asset if it does not find a quantum fix. The speaker also warned that people would not trust Bitcoin if all Bitcoin keys were broken.

The warning did not identify the cryptographer by name or explain how keys might be broken. The warning was framed as a hypothetical scenario.

TokenPost previously covered a separate quantum warning about Bitcoin’s ownership model.
