Nic Carter: If Quantum Risk Is Neglected Long Term, Institutions May 'Take Over' Bitcoin Development Governance

2026.02.15 16:35:57

February 15th — Venture capitalist Nic Carter recently noted on a podcast that Bitcoin developers’ longstanding inaction toward the cryptocurrency’s vulnerability to potential quantum computing threats could stoke dissatisfaction among large institutions with sizeable Bitcoin holdings (e.g., BlackRock) — ultimately spurring an “institutional takeover.” Carter warned institutions won’t tolerate the long-term sidelining of Bitcoin’s core security concerns: “If developers keep doing nothing, institutions will lose patience, fire the current team, and bring in new talent.” (Cointelegraph)
