ChainCatcher Message, the rise of Bitcoin faces a risk that most cryptocurrency investors are not paying attention to: quantum computing. This breakthrough not only threatens Bitcoin but also traditional finance, as many online banking systems use variations of public key encryption technology. However, security experts warn that Bitcoin could be a particularly attractive target for quantum thieves. Skip Sanzeri, co-founder of the quantum-secure cybersecurity startup QuSecure, said: "Bitcoin will become a target for crazy attacks. Banks have certain regulatory, defensive mechanisms and the ability to protect customers, whereas Bitcoin is the 'wild west.' If your Bitcoin is stolen, your wallet will not compensate you."
