MIT, 1981. Richard Feynman presents his paper, “Simulating Physics with Computers”, at the first Physics and Computation Conference. The paper would become one of the foundational works of quantum computing. Feynman posed a bold question: Why can’t we simulate quantum systems efficiently on classical computers? His conclusion was radical: If nature is quantum mechanical, perhaps the best way to simulate it is with quantum machines themselves. More than four decades later, that challenge remains. And fittingly, the story continues where it began: MIT.

@HaciJose @RallyOnChain You can learn economics in a classroom. Watching a family lose purchasing power teaches a different lesson.

It was great to take part in the @MITBitcoinClub Expo, joining a panel on post-quantum cryptography and interacting with Bitcoin Core developers and leading cryptographers. As quantum machines mature, running Shor's Algorithm or its variants at scale is becoming increasingly plausible, directly challenging Elliptic Curve Cryptography, which underpins Bitcoin and Ethereum. Bitcoin’s security relies on private keys. However, once a transaction is made, the public key is revealed. With a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, that public key could be used to recover the private key and take control of the funds. This fundamentally changes the security assumptions of the entire ecosystem. The solutions are not straightforward. Post-quantum schemes exist (e.g., Falcon and Dilithium), but signatures are often 10–100x larger. Since signatures dominate transaction size, this would mean fewer transactions per block, higher fees, slower propagation, and increased centralization pressure. A naive transition risks disrupting Bitcoin’s economic balance. Upgrading Bitcoin is also inherently difficult. The system resists change by design, and history (e.g., the 2017 split into Bitcoin Cash) shows how contentious even relatively simpler upgrades can be. A post-quantum transition would require global coordination and a large-scale migration of funds. There is also a deeper question: a significant fraction of coins that are likely lost becomes vulnerable in a quantum scenario. Should they be left as a bounty, or somehow reclaimed? There is no clear consensus. Quantum computing is advancing rapidly and poses a systemic risk to digital assets. The window to prepare is limited, and the challenges are both technical and social. Can Bitcoin be upgraded, or will its core assumptions be tested beyond repair? P.S.: I believe @qubitcoinx (originally inspired by Bitcoin) will become both quantum-secure and quantum-friendly.

iQuHACK week at @MIT is almost here! We’re excited to join researchers, students, and industry leaders for a weekend focused on quantum computing, simulation, and real-world experimentation. We’re also looking forward to sharing this year’s Superquantum workshop theme, which is closely aligned with current developments in quantum computing … 🔐👀 For participants who are preparing to join, we recommend taking a quick last-minute look at MIT Quantum Winter School 2026 - a series of lectures on quantum computing by students from MIT and Harvard. You can find the resources here: https://t.co/NjtT4xHHk9 See you in Cambridge (or remotely)!

Last week at the PEER Summit: The Qubitcoin team participated in the event and joined discussions with peers from across the space. Here, Mikhail is taking part in a panel discussion on quantum, security, and risk, where we had a lively debate on quantum computers compromising Satoshi’s wallets, how ready quantum technology truly is today, and the global race to build scalable quantum machines. Thank you for having us. It was a pleasure exchanging ideas and perspectives.
