Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the circle about the threat of Quantum Computing to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Core developer Jameson Lopp recently stated that quantum computers do not pose a threat to Bitcoin in the short term. He mentioned that he will continue to monitor the advancements in quantum technology, but if a protocol modification is needed to defend against quantum attacks, it would take 5 to 10 years to implement.

However, the father of smart contracts and co-founder of Castle Island Ventures, Nic Carter, published a long article last week with a completely different tone. He warned that the only "engineering challenge" left for quantum computing to crack Bitcoin is the risk that 1.7 million Bitcoins are facing an attack. This caused a media uproar.

Bitcoin expert Pledditor then spoke out, directly pointing out that Nic Carter is creating panic. Pledditor also uncovered an interesting detail - in the fund that Nic Carter invested in, there is a startup that specializes in selling tools to help blockchain resist quantum attacks. From this perspective, it becomes quite intriguing to consider who is hyping this topic.
