“Bitcoin will expire the very day the first quantum computer appears…. It will be doomed, Tomlinson says. Any disruption needs the consensus of the bitcoin community and that can’t even be realized when it comes to the transaction limit problem. That’s a relatively simple problem compared to redoing the entire digital signature method. It’s probably impossible, so bitcoin has had it.”
