Willy Woo: In the era of large-scale quantum computers, Bitcoin Taproot addresses (the latest format) are not secure
Jinse Finance reported that Willy Woo tweeted that in the upcoming and daunting era of large quantum computers, you still need to protect your public key. Essentially, large quantum computers can derive your private key from your public key. Today's Taproot addresses (the latest format) are not secure; these addresses start with "bc1p" and embed the public key into the address, which is not good. Previous formats hid the public key behind a hash, so large quantum computers could not easily crack them.
