Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino discussed the potential effects of quantum computers on the Bitcoin network. In a recent sharing, he said that the addition of quantum -resistant addresses to the Bitcoin protocol would be possible before serious security risks occur. Such an update will allow the active wallet holders to carry Bitcoins to quantum safe addresses.
Quantum Computers and Bitcoin Security
According to Ardoino’s foresight, the inaccessible Bitcoin wallets – especially those belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto – may become vulnerable to Queen computer breakthroughs. Samara Asset Group CEO Patrick Lowry offered a different solution to this situation. Lowry said that creating a new fork -resistant fork against quantum computers will leave behind the missing wallets and Satoshi’s Bitcoin assets. However, he expressed his doubts about the consequences of both approaches.
Ardoino stressed that despite possible risks, Bitcoin maintains its basic power and that the 21 million supply limit would not change despite the progress of quantum computer. “Bitcoin is the best being in the world,” he showed his trust.
TETHER’s Global Financial Infrastructure Development
While discussions on quantum computers continue, Tether continues to expand its global financial infrastructure. Speaking at the Planb Forum in El Salvador, Ardoino said Tether has developed one of the largest distribution networks in the digital and physical fields in the last decade. The company serves approximately 400 million users through the USDT Stablecoin.
Ardoino stressed that Tether focuses on establishing partnerships instead of capital investments. He also added that they have hundreds of thousands of business partners and a large kiosk network in developing countries. Tether’s ultimate goal is to provide financial services to billions of people outside the traditional banking system, while supporting the US economy through treasury bond purchases. These discussions are considered as an important turning point in terms of understanding both the potential effects of quantum computers on Bitcoin and the role of Tether in the global financial system.
Quantum Age: Bitcoin Safety and New Opportunities
The changes that quantum computers can create in the crypto world can offer not only risks, but also opportunities. As Ardoino points out, the addition of quantum -resistant addresses to the Bitcoin network may be an important security measure against future threats.
This technological development can also pave the way for new recovery methods for lost or inaccessible wallets. However, these opportunities can bring new regulatory challenges along with great innovations.
