Carter, co-founder of Coin Metrics, considers quantum computing to be the greatest long-term risk to Bitcoin's fundamental cryptography. The potential of this new technology could threaten the security of Bitcoin.

Carter explains how private and public keys work in simple terms. He emphasizes that exposing public keys increases risks during spending. In this context, he points out that investors need to make both short-term and long-term plans.
