Zerotier CEO Andrew Gault Says Quantum Threat Lies in Encrypted Data In Transit

Zerotier CEO Andrew Gault argues the near-term quantum risk for crypto is not wallet keys, but encrypted transaction and authentication traffic that adversaries may be collecting now for future decryption. He contrasts Ethereum's coordinated move toward post-quantum migration in 2026 with Bitcoin's lack of a comparable plan, amid disputed timelines that range from 2027 to 2035 for a machine capable of breaking Bitcoin-related cryptography.
