Nic Carter on why Ethereum will be a beneficiary of quantum “The fact that Justin [Drake] is on [Google’s quantum] paper is also quite telling. It’s night and day. In Bitcoin, it’s just me worrying about this and like a half dozen other people. In Ethereum, it’s already been decided — the transition is going to occur. I was reading the blog on the pq.ethereum site, and I was like, ‘I could’ve written this.’ I completely agree with every word written on here.” “I think Ethereum is also a beneficiary in the sense that it has not gone through this relentless optimization route like some of the ‘high-throughput’ blockchains have because they’re going to suffer from this.” Source: @Bankless (Apr 2026)
