Cathie Wood: Will quantum computing threaten Bitcoin? It will take at least until the late 2030s

When discussing the question of whether quantum computing poses a threat to the Bitcoin ecosystem, Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARK Invest, stated that the team has been evaluating relevant technological breakthroughs and that progress has indeed been made, though only in small steps. ARK's Chief Futurist, Brett, believes that even if a quantum threat materializes, it likely won't occur until the late 2030s or even the 2040s.

She pointed out that the key reason for delaying the impact of quantum computing is the explosive progress of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is developing at a rate far exceeding expectations, with no clear performance ceiling. The more computing power invested, the greater the performance, and costs are rapidly declining. Many goals once hoped to be achieved by quantum computing are now already within the reach of AI.

Under this trend, capital is more likely to continue to flow into the field of AI rather than rushing to promote quantum computing, which will also delay the real threat of quantum technology to the security of Bitcoin.
