If quantum computing starts to look possible it would be straightforward for BTC to switch to cryptographic algorithms that are quantum-proof
I tried to perform more research on this future proof encryption against quantum computing and it seems the crypto currency community was already thinking ahead about this dilemma over 5 years ago.
Yeah it was a question that crossed my mind as I was learning about BTC as well. Quantum-resistant cryptography is surprisingly not a new technology.
