Quantum vs. Bitcoin: Preparing Without the Panic

On this episode, we sit down with Project 11 CEO Alex Pruden to unpack what quantum computing really means for bitcoin’s long‑term security — without the hype or doom scenarios. We break down realistic timelines for “cryptographically relevant” quantum computers, which parts of bitcoin are actually at risk, and why open blockchains may be better positioned to upgrade than legacy finance. The conversation also highlights Coinbase’s Independent Advisory Board on Quantum Computing and Blockchain and how the council is helping the industry plan calmly for a post‑quantum future.
