Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya urged the cryptocurrency community on Tuesday to prepare for potential quantum threats to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) after Google’s latest study signaled it may be closer to reality than previously thought.
Google Study Raised Important Questions, Says Palihapitiya
In an X post, Palihapitiya said that Google’s paper was “quite reasonable” and raised “important technical questions.”
He added that if artificial general intelligence or superintelligent AI is coming soon, the smartest first target for it would be cracking something like Bitcoin.
“The crypto elders should start spending more effort organizing on a timescale that makes crypto quantum resistant / proof in these next few years with a conclusive roadmap,” he added.
