The quantum computing threat to crypto is way more serious than most people realize.
Here's the thing: most participants in the space aren't thinking about what happens when quantum machines become powerful enough to break current cryptographic standards. But it's not some distant future problem—development is accelerating faster than people expect.
This isn't FUD. It's a legitimate technical challenge that blockchain networks will eventually need to address. The protocols, wallets, and security models we rely on today weren't designed with quantum resistance in mind.
The real issue? Market-wide complacency. While some projects are quietly exploring quantum-resistant algorithms, the broader ecosystem hasn't made this a priority. That's a gap worth paying attention to.

Quantum computing, honestly, not many people in the circle are taking it seriously... it's time to start paying attention.

actually, if you run the correlation coefficients on post-quantum cryptography adoption timelines vs current protocol upgrades, the risk-adjusted timeline looks... uncomfortable. most people are just stacking yields, completely oblivious.

Quantum computing is indeed something that needs attention, but it's still too early to say right now.

Quantum computing... really needs to be taken seriously now, but this circle just likes to adopt an ostrich policy.

Quantum computing, huh? The market still hasn't taken it seriously yet.

Quantum computing... It's really just waiting for the day it suddenly crashes, and by then it'll be too late to regret.
