Will Quantum Kill Bitcoin? IBM CTO Reveals The Truth

In this episode of the BeInCrypto Podcast, we sit down with Michael Osborne, CTO of IBM’s Quantum Safe Operations, to discuss one of the most urgent questions in technology and crypto today: Will quantum computing put Bitcoin and blockchain at risk sooner than expected? Michael breaks down IBM’s roadmap for quantum breakthroughs, the role of logical qubits, and the real timeline for when quantum machines could crack current cryptographic protections. We explore: Could quantum computers actually break Bitcoin wallets and signatures? How soon could Shor’s algorithm become a real threat? What risks do nation-state quantum projects pose? Why blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum must prepare now for post-quantum security. What developers, policymakers, and investors should watch for as the “quantum countdown” accelerates. This is a must-watch conversation for anyone in crypto, blockchain, or cybersecurity who wants to understand how quantum computing may reshape digital security and financial systems in the years ahead. 🔔 Subscribe for more in-depth crypto podcasts, expert interviews, and analysis from BeInCrypto. #Bitcoin #QuantumComputing #IBM #CryptoSecurity ------------------------------------------------------------ BeInCrypto, Your Gateway to Blockchain & Beyond 🚀 BeInCrypto is among the Top 3 global crypto media platforms, delivering daily crypto news, updates, reviews, podcasts, shorts, memes, and analysis.
