Despite potential risks to Bitcoin posed by quantum computing, Ethereum remains resilient due to its independent nature. Bankless co-founder David Hoffman argues that even if Bitcoin were to fail due to cryptographic vulnerabilities, Ethereum’s ecosystem would continue operating normally. This is because the networks are technically distinct and not reliant on one another. Hoffman asserts that while a Bitcoin collapse might initially shake investor confidence in cryptocurrencies overall, Ethereum’s functionality and value remain unaffected. Furthermore, he suggests that this event could even benefit Ethereum, potentially paving the way for it to become the dominant digital currency as a result of Bitcoin’s potential demise.
