What does the founding father of blockchain think about quantum computing and Bitcoin’s security? In this highlight taken from Scott Stornetta's Full Interview with Binance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF_V3wD1Mvc), he breaks down the real quantum timelines, explains the security “gap” that keeps blockchains safe, and why evolving cryptography means no sudden, catastrophic collapse. As a physicist, he’s bullish on quantum’s benefits as he tells us how we can keep trust online intact as the tech advances. In this highlight, Scott Stornetta covers: ✅ The core of blockchain security: computations that are easy one way but hard to reverse (the “gap”) ✅ How quantum computing could narrow today’s gap—and why that doesn’t mean blockchain fails ✅ Why research suggests cryptographic protections can evolve as quantum progresses to keep security strong ✅ Timelines: quantum is real, but the path is long and incremental ✅ Why he doesn’t expect a sudden, catastrophic collapse—more a managed upgrade over time ✅ A physicist’s perspective: quantum is exciting and likely broadly beneficial overall #bitcoin #QuantumComputing #satoshi #cryptoinvesting #binance #crypto2026 *⚠️ RISK WARNING:* Digital asset prices can be volatile.
