Tian Jia: Quantum computing is expected to threaten Bitcoin addresses that reveal public keys within 5-15 years

Comparing news, the Huobi HTX Celebrity Lecture Hall “AI+ Trading from Theory to Practice” VIP private course was held in Shanghai. Early Bitcoin miners and pyra.io CTO Tian Jia shared the development of quantum computing and the impact of AI on transactions.

He believes that if it can threaten “a Bitcoin address that has already revealed its public key,” the average is 7 to 8 years, and the range is 5 to 15 years. The number of logical qubits required is 1200 to 2,400, and the number of physical qubits is less than 500,000. Furthermore, Bitcoin also has defensive measures. It can migrate to PQC, or post-quantum cryptography, although it also has many difficulties, such as the locking problem of Satoshi Nakamoto.
