Bitcoin Vulnerable to Quantum Computing Threats

Citi, a global financial services company, has issued a warning about the potential risks of quantum computing attacks on cryptocurrency markets. According to their analysis, Bitcoin faces a greater risk than Ethereum due to its slower reaction speed.

Quantum computers have the potential to break certain encryption algorithms used in cryptocurrencies, compromising their security. This threat is particularly relevant for Bitcoin and other Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchains, which rely on complex mathematical calculations to secure transactions.
