Bitcoin’s post-quantum migration could take 5-10 years, according to core developer Jameson Lopp. The challenge lies in achieving consensus in a decentralized network. While quantum technology remains a future threat, experts agree preparation is key. Protocol changes and fund migrations require coordination, which is complex in a decentralized system. Current quantum computers lack the power to break Bitcoin’s technology, but risks may rise after 2030. Lopp says starting early ensures a smooth transition without harming network integrity.
