Willy Woo: SegWit could shield Bitcoin from quantum risk.
A simple move to protect your sats ⚡️🔐
On-chain analyst Willy Woo has suggested that users move their $BTC to SegWit addresses as a temporary safeguard against future quantum computing threats.
Woo warns that quantum machines could eventually derive private keys from public ones, leaving Taproot wallets potentially exposed. In contrast, SegWit hides the public key until a transaction is made — offering an extra layer of protection, as long as coins remain unspent.
The Quantum Doomsday Clock estimates we’re just two years away from computers powerful enough to crack traditional cryptography. Still, experts caution that much of the “quantum panic” comes from hype and uncertainty — not hard data.
Better safe than sorry, mes amis — keep your keys cold, and maybe a bit SegWit too 🧊
