🔥 BITCOIN BEGINS PREPARING TO COUNTER THE THREAT FROM QUANTUM COMPUTERS Bitcoin developers have introduced a new proposal called BIP 360 into the official upgrade discussion process. The goal is to prepare Bitcoin for a future where extremely powerful quantum computers could break the current encryption system. This proposal introduces a new type of address called Pay to Merkle Root (P2MR), aimed at reducing the risk of private key leaks and limiting the possibility of asset theft. It works similarly to Taproot but removes a feature that could expose the public key, making it theoretically more secure. This doesn't mean Bitcoin is in danger right now, nor does it mean the change has already been implemented. Being included in the proposal list simply shows that developers are beginning serious discussions. This is XEM as a first step toward potentially adding quantum-resistant signatures later if needed.
