Sixteen years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto responded to concerns about quantum computers threatening Bitcoin. He noted that even if quantum computing achieves major breakthroughs in the future, Bitcoin could still adapt by upgrading the protocol to switch to a new hashing algorithm after a specified block height. As long as all nodes and users complete their software upgrades before that block, the network can continue operating securely—demonstrating Bitcoin’s ability to evolve alongside technological advancements.
