Experts like Casa's Jameson Lopp and Blockstream's Adam Back agree: quantum computing poses no immediate threat to Bitcoin security. They assert that significant quantum risks are likely decades away, offering a long horizon for adaptation. 🛡️

However, some researchers project earlier risks, potentially within a few years. Implementing widespread quantum-resistant upgrades would be a complex endeavor, estimated to take 5 to 10 years. ⏳

This transition faces considerable technical and consensus challenges. Bitcoin's decentralized nature inherently makes cryptographic transitions slower and more intricate compared to centralized systems. 🔗
