David Carvalho, CEO of cybersecurity firm Naoris Protocol and former hacker, warns that quantum computing and AI could break Bitcoin’s cryptography. He says advanced quantum machines may crack Bitcoin’s encryption, risking up to 30% of all Bitcoin held at exposed addresses. Carvalho highlights the danger of attackers collecting encrypted transactions now to decrypt later and urges the industry to adopt quantum-resistant security upgrades. While threats are growing, experts say practical quantum attacks on Bitcoin may still be years away.
