Nic Carter: The lagging quantum resistance of Bitcoin may become an opportunity for Ethereum to rise
According to Cointelegraph, Nic Carter, founding partner of Castle Island Ventures, stated that btc-42">Bitcoin's lag in quantum resistance could become a bullish reason for Ethereum.
Carter mentioned that elliptic curve cryptography is nearing obsolescence, and blockchain developers need to accept the necessity of variable cryptography. He pointed out that Bitcoin developers are "turning a blind eye" to the quantum resistance issue, while Ethereum developers have made it a "top strategic priority" and have developed a detailed anti-quantum roadmap. Carter believes that unless Bitcoin changes rapidly, the ETH/BTC ratio will begin to reflect this difference in priorities. Previously, ARK Invest reported that about one-third of Bitcoin faces quantum threats, but this is considered a long-term risk. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a quantum resistance roadmap in February. A co-author of BIP-360 responded that core contributors have been involved in the proposal. Carter criticized Bitcoin core developers for "denying, misleading, and rejecting community feedback," while Bitcoin developers stated that the proposal has received the most comments in history.
