Michael Klippsten, founder of Swan, believes artificial intelligence poses a more immediate threat to Bitcoin than quantum computing. He estimates that quantum computers capable of undermining Bitcoin’s cryptography are at least a decade away, and possibly further away.

He also accuses some cryptocurrency startups and investors of using fears about quantum computing to attract funding rather than addressing an imminent security risk.
