Cardano Founder Criticizes Blockstream's Conservative Approach to Quantum Threats in Bitcoin

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has expressed concerns about Blockstream's proposal to address quantum threats in Bitcoin. The proposal, which involves using hash-based post-quantum signature schemes, has been met with skepticism by some experts who believe it may not provide sufficient security for the network.

Hoskinson argues that more expressive cryptographic systems are needed to support richer programmability and complex validation logic, rather than relying on minimalist solutions like Blockstream's proposal. He also criticized Bitcoin's conservative development culture, which he believes prioritizes stability over innovation.
