Will quantum computing kill Bitcoin? The ultimate challenge of the quantum era. Many people think the biggest threat to Bitcoin comes from governments, regulators, or central bank digital currencies.

But more and more people are starting to worry about another issue: quantum computing.
If a truly large-scale quantum computer is born in the future, will Bitcoin be cracked? Will private keys really become invalid? Will Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet be affected? Does Bitcoin have a chance to upgrade into a quantum-resistant era?
In this episode, we explore this widely discussed topic from three perspectives: cryptography, quantum computing, and the Bitcoin protocol. We also consider a larger proposition: If the quantum era truly arrives, will it only challenge Bitcoin, or the entire trust system built on cryptography that underpins the modern internet?
