Why Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Transactions Aren’t Ready for Everyday Use

[tradelikepro]

While Quantum Safe Bitcoin offers immediate protection, it comes with significant trade-offs. Each transaction could cost between $75 and $150 in GPU compute, making it far too expensive for regular use. Additionally, the process is more complex than standard transactions, limiting its practicality to high-value transfers rather than everyday payments.

Experts are divided on its impact. While some, like Eli Ben-Sasson, see it as a major breakthrough, others argue it doesn’t fully solve the problem—especially for older wallets with exposed public keys. This highlights a key reality: QSB may enhance security for certain users, but it does not eliminate all quantum-related risks within the Bitcoin ecosystem.

so basically we’re safe from quantum computers as long as nobody actually uses the system

@tradelikepro $150 per transaction just to feel safe, great deal
