Tether CTO聲稱量子計算不會崩潰比特幣的加密系統

Tether的首席執行官Paolo Ardoino聲稱，即使足夠強大，量子計算也不會崩潰比特幣的加密系統，而是

Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino believes that when quantum computing does become powerful enough to raid crypto, it won’t crash Bitcoin’s cryptographic system but will instead pillage unattended wallets, putting forgotten Bitcoins back into circulation.

Tether的首席執行官Paolo Ardoino認為，當量子計算變得足夠強大以突襲加密時，它不會崩潰比特幣的加密系統，而是會掠奪無人看管的錢包，使被遺忘的比特幣重新流通。

In a post on X today, Paolo dismissed the looming panic around quantum threats to crypto, adding that Bitcoin will integrate quantum-resistant addresses before any real risk surfaces.

在今天X上的一篇文章中，Paolo駁斥了圍繞加密貨幣的量子威脅的迫在眉睫的恐慌，並補充說，比特幣將在任何真正的風險表面之前整合量子的地址。

But here’s the twist: “All people alive and with wallet access will move their Bitcoin to safe addresses,” Paolo said. “But if Satoshi isn’t alive, his coins will be hacked and put back in play. Nothing changes the 21 million cap, not even quantum computing.”

但是，這是一個轉折：“所有人都活著，隨著錢包的訪問，他們的比特幣都會將其比特幣轉移到安全的地址，”保羅說。 “但是，如果Satoshi還活著，他的硬幣將被黑客入侵並重新發揮作用。沒有什麼可以改變2100萬個上限，甚至沒有量子計算。”

The race to break encryption before Bitcoin adapts

比特幣適應之前打破加密的競賽

As of early 2025, quantum computing is advancing at an unprecedented rate, with key players like Microsoft, PsiQuantum, and DARPA (yes, the US defense agency) leading the charge. DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) aims to develop quantum machines for real industrial use by 2033.

截至2025年初，Quantum Computing以前所未有的速度前進，Microsoft，Psiquantum和Darpa（是的，是美國國防機構）等主要參與者領導了這一指控。 DARPA的量子基準計劃（QBI）旨在開發2033年真正工業用途的量子機。

In its final phase, the project selected Microsoft and PsiQuantum to scale the next generation of quantum computing technology. Microsoft is reportedly focusing on superconducting topological qubits, a novel approach designed to reduce errors. Meanwhile, PsiQuantum is utilizing silicon-based photonics, using photons rather than electrons to drive computations.

在最後階段，該項目選擇了Microsoft和Psiquantum來擴展下一代量子計算技術。據報導，微軟正在專注於超導拓撲尺寸，這是一種旨在減少錯誤的新方法。同時，Psiquantum正在利用基於矽的光子學，而不是電子來驅動計算。

So why should Bitcoin holders care? Well recent breakthroughs, such as the scalable quantum teleportation demonstrated by the University of Oxford, indicate that massive distributed quantum networks are on the horizon. Oxford researchers managed to entangle particles and transmit data across optical networks without moving physical objects.

那麼，為什麼比特幣持有人應該照顧呢？最近的突破，例如牛津大學展示的可伸縮量子傳送，表明大規模分佈式量子網絡即將到來。牛津的研究人員設法糾纏顆粒並在不移動物理對象的情況下跨光網絡傳輸數據。

Today’s quantum computers are known to be “noisy,” meaning their calculations are often riddled with errors. But with ongoing experiments involving logical qubits (designed to automatically correct errors), developers are optimistic that quantum machines will eventually deliver on their promise of unimaginable computing power.

當今的量子計算機被稱為“嘈雜”，這意味著他們的計算通常被錯誤帶來。但是，隨著涉及邏輯Qubits的持續實驗（旨在自動糾正錯誤），開發人員很樂觀，量子機最終將兌現其難以想像的計算能力的承諾。

Quantum computing poses a threat to Bitcoin because its cryptographic system, specifically ECDSA, is based on complex mathematical problems that current computers can’t solve. However, once quantum machines reach sufficient scale, they could easily solve these problems.

量子計算對比特幣構成威脅，因為其加密系統（特別是ECDA）基於當前計算機無法解決的複雜數學問題。但是，一旦量子機達到足夠的規模，它們就可以輕鬆解決這些問題。

That’s where quantum-resistant addresses come in. Developers are already testing cryptographic upgrades to protect active Bitcoin wallets. But not every wallet will be safe, and that was Paolo’s point.

這就是抗量子地址的來源。開發人員已經在測試加密升級以保護主動比特幣錢包。但是，並非每個錢包都會安全，這就是保羅的觀點。
