TBPN(@tbpn):.@cz_binance says that quantum computing may break existing crypto, and that BTC may need to fork to quantum-resistant cryptography. "Quantum may break the existing encryption mechanisms, but with quantum computing there will be new encryption algorithms." "There are already quantum proof encryption algorithms that quantum computers do not have an advantage to crack. So we just need to upgrade the protocol to use those encryption mechanisms." From his appearance on the show last month.
