Blockstream CEO and early Bitcoin advocate Adam Back stated that Bitcoin is unlikely to face a substantial threat from quantum computing for at least the next 20 to 40 years. He expressed this view in response to a user's question about the risks facing Bitcoin, adding that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has approved post-quantum cryptography standards, which Bitcoin could adopt "long before quantum computers capable of breaking cryptography are available."
