[Coin Metrics Co-Founder: Quantum Computing is the Greatest Long-Term Risk to Bitcoin's Core Cryptography] According to CoinDesk, Coin Metrics co-founder Nic Carter stated that quantum computing is the greatest long-term risk to Bitcoin's core cryptography. He explained the one-way nature of deriving public keys from private keys using the secp256k1 elliptic curve and pointed out that exposing public keys on-chain when spending transactions increases the potential attack surface. Carter suggested avoiding address reuse in the short term to reduce public key exposure and advancing post-quantum signature schemes and feasible migration paths in the long term. His series of articles will subsequently discuss scenarios involving a 'post-quantum break.'
