Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says Bitcoin's quantum threat is manageable through migration, but the pre-2015 coins pose a unique challenge "It's basically a similar risk, mostly a migration risk, not a meltdown risk. That gives me a great deal of confidence for everything except for the corner that you mentioned, which are sort of the Satoshi and pre-2015 coins for Bitcoin." "I think anyone in crypto who doesn't see a very challenging community discussion in that space happening soon is deluding themselves. So that is a risk in Bitcoin." "I don't think broadly quantum is a risk for crypto because again, that's a migration concern. But the pre-2015 coins is a unique challenge for Bitcoin." "It is widely discussed. So maybe it is to some degree priced in. I'm still optimistic that the community will arrive at a solution that works for people." "If somebody asked me what keeps me up at night, that's one of the things that keeps me up at night. It doesn't fundamentally change my thesis for Bitcoin." "Is it like a nine alarm fire at this point? No. Is there some smoke that we monitor? Yeah, definitely."
