Bitcoin news reports that the price hit $88,000, but concerns over quantum threats are overshadowing short-term gains. Experts warn a blockchain upgrade to quantum-resistant standards could take 5–10 years due to governance and cost challenges. Casa’s Jameson Lopp noted the timeline is hindered by coordination issues. About 25% of Bitcoin in P2PK addresses remains at risk from quantum attacks, valued in the tens of billions. The market remains split between technical caution and financial urgency over delayed solutions and data harvesting risks.
