Since the quantum threat to Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins persists, some analysts are warning about the need for urgent measures to counter this threat. Currently, although industry leaders like Coinbase claim there is no need to rush to ensure resilience against quantum technologies, Samson Mow warned that rushing to address quantum resilience in Bitcoin could have the opposite effect. Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin technology company Jan3, warned in an analytical article published on his X account that hastily increasing resistance to quantum attacks in response to Coinbase leaders' calls for faster action could unintentionally increase security risks. Mow argued that hasty implementation could lead to compatibility issues and reduce network efficiency. He stated that quantum-resistant signatures could be 10–125 times larger than existing ones, potentially decreasing Bitcoin block capacity and transaction speed.
