Calls are growing for preemptive measures against the threat posed by quantum computing.
James Seyffart, a Bloomberg analyst, wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on the 31st (local time) that "even if the probability of meaningful breakthroughs in quantum computing over the next 5–10 years is less than 5%, preparation is necessary."
He stressed that "while some tend to downplay or immediately dismiss the quantum computing threat, it is well worth preparing for the potential risks."
The debate also appears to be spreading again after Google's Quantum AI team released a report warning that Bitcoin (BTC) could become vulnerable to quantum-computing attacks earlier than expected.
The remarks are interpreted as underscoring that even low-probability risks require system-level preparedness.
