Coinbase CEO: Quantum Computers Pose Greater Threat to Crypto Than AI
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said quantum computing poses a more serious long-term threat to cryptocurrency security than artificial intelligence. According to him, building sufficiently powerful quantum computers is a matter of time rather than probability.
Armstrong noted that AI has not yet shown significant progress in breaking the cryptographic algorithms used by blockchains. Quantum technologies, in turn, may require fundamentally new solutions.
For those who hold or exchange cryptocurrency, this means the issue of protecting blockchain cryptography may become relevant in the long term.
