I‘d go for 50% ETH, 30% SOL and 20% Quantum Token (QRL, MCM, CKB) as I like the narative and think they have great opps from 3-5y perspective. Wouldnt invest in baskets, in crypto you should choose your own coins imho
For 100$ only ETH, if investing more I would come up with a 20% stake in quantum Token (QRL and MCM)
80% ETH 10% for QRL and MCM each (love the quantum narative as a BER)
MCM & QRL are my bets - Both with Coming new listings and great narative (quantum Security) which is currently getting more and more attention of the people
Think this will become an issue 5-10y from now - for BTC discussion just started some time ago (BIP360 by Hunter Beast). There are already quantum Secure projects out there - think interesting to Look at. I personally hold some QRL, lets see how this is moving in Future😉
So for the last month you've been shilling QRL a so called quantum resistant crypto, and here you are making FUD posts on "ThE dAnGeRs Of qUaNtUm" This kind of garbage may be able to fool laymen, but to people who have any knowledge of the state of quantum computers and how useless they are at present (and no threat for a decade or two) this is just nonsense.
BTC (almost entirely) HBAR (small portion) QRL (tiny portion)
BTC, ETH, and QRL to hedge against the quantum risk inherent to BTC / ETH. I agree that all the rest is noise.
Bullish on PQ „native“ coins like QRL, CELL, ABEL & MCM - think its a great opportunity from Chance Risk perspective. Don’t believe in Algo & HBAR
Highly recommend quantum resistant coins as well, particularly QRL. Recently down from highs and charts are flashing strong support at current levels. Also long term prospects are fantastic as well

Do yourself a favor and look into the existing quantum resistant options. I'm not telling you what to do, but what I did (for my own piece of mind) was put a percentage of my crypto portfolio into a coin called QRL, as it has been quantum resistant since inception and is inherently more secure than anything else out there.
I've only invested in eth once, sold as soon as it made a profit. The whole gas fees thing just blows my mind. So while I hope those die hards make absolute bank, it's not got me and I don't care what happens to it. Think I'll throw a bit of change into QRL though, so thanks for bringing this to my attention as I had no idea about it previously
Yes but you can’t crack QRL and other native quantum safe blockchains… why stick to Bitcoin
Depends, if the L1 is modular it can be more easily integrated than monolithic chains... 🟢QRL>XTZ>ADA>ETH 🟡DOT>ALGO>SUI 🔴BTC>SOL
Quantum safe cryptos already exist (e.g. Nervos, Cellframe, QRL,…)
QRL is designed against quantum attack? are there others? you say they are not correlated. have you calculated their correlation? when a real correction comes (bigger than this week) the alts usually suffer more and everything seems to be correlated in fall (btc, alts, sp500, hell even gold sometimes...) sometimes it seems cash is really the best diversification, gold is great too
Taking profits is normal. Market goes up and down but general trend historically has been up. If you can't handle the swings you should seek to diversify. One of the biggest concerns I have for BTC is the quantum computing vulnerabilities. I have some money in QRL to offset that risk. QRL has been trending up when BTC falls lately, so that is nice. Diversification is common investing advice.
There's a cognitive dissonance at play here explaining why most classical encryption crypto whales are quiet and it's not yet on top 10 exchanges ie Binance/Coinbase, but ahem: [Blackrock Crypto ETF 2025 Quantum Risk Disclosure](https://cryptobriefing.com/blackrock-quantum-risk-bitcoin-etf/) [McKinsey: 2025 The Year of Quantum Report](https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/the-year-of-quantum-from-concept-to-reality-in-2025#/) Not like this is some tinfoil hat niche anymore. [An XMR dev Luke Parker mentioned QRL by name](https://www.youtube.com/live/jxPulIjhXwg?t=4076&si=NC6TCQzAm1YFBp26) (after wondering out loud whether to "name them") on a recent Monero podcast. The dev called QRL legit bec it's been around for a while and he'd met the team at a conference.
IMO QRL is a quality project that's price is artificially undervalued because of the difficulty to obtain. They use a quantum resistant signature that most tier 1 exchanges would have to do extra work to get listed, so until they hit critical mass the price is suppressed. As someone else stated, if you want to make money, find a quality project and DCA over time. If you're a chart guy, they just had a pull back to some key support levels and now is actually a "good time" to buy. Join the discord if you have questions on the bullish case and what to expect. https://theqrl.org/discord
Sell some BTC to take profits and hedge against common risks. Makes sense to buy something like QRL right now (Quantum Resistant Ledger) as the upside is ~350x whereas BTC upside is like ~7x in the next 5-10 years.
QRL just found a strong support level about 3 days ago
ETH, SOL, QRL —> my Major Holdings
What are your thoughts on QRL? Does quantum resistant cryptography have a place in this crypto market?
QRL (Only coin with Post-tQuantum specific encryption) World Coin (Major integration and defi functionality in the pipeline and major artificial intelligence implications) BSV (Only Bitcoin fork that can provide the TPS required for worldwide adoption)
QRL has dropped like 40% from its recent high, currently consolidating, and poised to jump back up rather quickly. Check out the discord since that's a lot more active than the subreddit.
QRL. Not a top 100 yet but tons of upside. Check out the discord.
QRL uses XMSS encryption, which is quantum resistant. It's worth a look if you're interested.
Any thoughts on QRL (Quantum resistant ledger)? Is it just a hype or is this crypto truly Quantum resistant? When I visit their sub, they say it is the future.
I will definitely look into QRL . Also thank you, I’m interested in the science and maths. Also to have a real discussion. Not others who just seems to want to throw insults
Bitcoin addresses will be hacked. A hard fork will only solve the problem for addresses created after the fork. There are existing blockchains that utilize post-quantum encryption. Look into [QRL](https://www.theqrl.org/blog/celebrating-seven-years-of-qrl-ahead-of-the-quantum-curve/)
QRL was released in 2018, and has used quantum resistant encryption from the beginning. They’re working on an EVM friendly chain called Zond, set to release sometime next year.
One interesting thought experiment is to do a "pre-mortem". Imagine a scenario where your current investment fails and the explain to yourself why it happened. When asked, the top two concerns around Bitcoin people have are either government regulation or quantum computing making old BTC them vulnerable to hacks. I personally think we're good for a few years government-wise (at least as far as this administration is concerned). The quantum threat is more concerning to me. Check out the QRL (Quantum Resistant Ledger) discord if you're curious to hear more about the bull case. There was a surge in price recently but it's down 30% from that high and probably actually a good time to buy in.
Consider investing a small amount ($50–100) in a quantum-resistant crypto like QRL. When quantum computers inevitably break current encryption, that small hedge could become the most valuable investment you ever make.
Conservatively? Absolutely nothing. I’d wait until the next dip and buy ETH. Realistically? I’m putting my chips on QRL and it’s not even close. Downvote me all you want, but throw me a “remind me 5 years” and we’ll see where it’s at. But it’s a bet I’m completely comfortable making.
QRL has what is probably the greatest endorsement in blockchain history. A patent filed by Lockheed Martin. It's the first Quantumcurrency. Quantum Secure since genesis. Absolutely legitimate blockchain.
https://www.reddit.com/r/QRL/s/gCrenroVF2 Yeah I realize that. But will bitcoin still be the infallible “one?”
https://www.reddit.com/r/QRL/s/gCrenroVF2 I’m not so sure. This is a good read though…. Banks, centralized military and other institutions will be able to implement solutions. Bitcoin with its decentralization will need a fork and need consensus. Might be another bitcoin/BCH/bitcoin gold etc issue.
HBAR has some bullish momentum and could definitely see some more upside. There's been some whale accumulation recently that could be bullish as they might know something we don't "wallets holding **$10 million+ in HBAR** climbed from **81.72% to 87.56%** of total supply" per a beincrypto article. I would question TAO as it's mostly an AI hype play and that seems to have run its course. I could be wrong but sentiment seems negative there. One project I'm very bullish on is QRL - they're a quantum play in the space and have been around since 2018 (not well known as they've been prioritizing fundamentals over marketing). They developed the first blockchain designed from the ground up with post-quantum cryptography (XMSS), anticipating the threat quantum computers pose to traditional cryptos. The QRL community has been very active lately (making up for lost time in the marketing space) and it's starting to catch on. Anyway, looks like a decent spread! Maybe replace TAO with QRL and you're good to go :D!
I don't have much crypto but my plan is to just steady DCA into BTC and ignore price. Have had a similar strategy for QRL for years. Just base decisions on belief in the tech.
ETH —> Future of everything QRL —> will retire me in 3y, as quantum threat discussion is coming HBAR —> quite interesting project, to be tracked very closely
QRL - Quantum Resistant Ledger (Wallets won’t get cooked) BSV - Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (High TPS, potential for growth as high adoption becomes the norm and people look for the Bitcoin name) Monero - (Privacy)
This really feels like hearing about Bitcoin in 2011 or so. Quantum computers are gonna change the whole industry, and it's just getting started. There is no better time to start reading about QRL.
Whether anyone thinks the threat of quantum computers is real or not, what do you have to lose by investing a small amount in QRL ?
Take a look into QRL - they are set up as the best play for crypto owners to buy to hedge against the quantum computing risk and they are seeing a lot of fresh interest in the last month.
$QRL is following a completely different narrative and has a ton of growth potential. Big money is slowly trickling in. It's a top 500 coin that belongs in the top 10. Imo, if you're looking for 10x gains, $QRL is worth checking out.
Now do the same but between Nano and QRL (Quantum Resistant Ledger) :3
I bought $250 worth of QRL last month just in case quantum computing breaks encryption before BTC and ETH are ready for it. Not really FOMO, just hedging my bets a little bit.
Ich bin in den Discord-channels/communities/… aller genannten Coins unterwegs - QRL hat imo mit Abstand die stärkste Community der genannten Projekte. Breites Team mit starkem Knowledge, gute Finanzierung, und m.E. das beste Narrativ. —> 65% meiner PQ-crypto Cellframe - Macht auf mich nen leicht shady Eindruck, aber gutes Narativ —> 15% Anteil MCM - starkes Produkt, aber ultrakleine Community (hängt gefühlt an 2-3 Köpfen) und schlechte Finanzierung und keine Liquidität—> 10% Anteil Abel & CBK - wenig Aktivität der Community, bei CBK hab ich den Ansatz noch nicht wirklich durchschaut —> beide <5% Anteil Ich finde das Chance-Risiko Verhältnis bei den Projekten extrem attraktiv, die ersten drei Token haben eine Market Cap <60 m$, die Szenarien in denen das auf 6bn, 60bn,… gehen kann sind für mich sehr greifbar. Ein Tier 1 listing verbunden mit Quantum Secure Aktivitäten bei BTC/ETH/o.ä. und die genannten Zahlen sind nicht in weiter Ferne. Bei allen Token reden wir über eine extreme Konzentrierung auf einige wenige Wale, was als zusätzlicher Katalysator in einem Aufwärtstrend wirken kann. To the Moon… 😉
Nowadays there is some new breakthrough every few weeks. You can join the #quantum-news channel on QRL Discord ( https://www.theqrl.org/discord ) or check some (less updated) news on website ( https://www.theqrl.org/quantum-news/ ).
That's an ERC20 token mostly not quantum secure. QRL is the only viable hedge
Time to start hedging with QRL. Thank me later.
Mochimo as a pioneers without any ico in quantum resistant niche, followed by QRL and cellframe. All very small market cap coins with enormous potential when Qday arrives.
Bitcoin doesn't need to hard-fork to add new asymmetric digital signature algorithms. Schnorr was added as a soft fork There's a recent obsession with making existing QC vulnerable unspent coins unspendable. That would be a hard fork. But that's not a discussion about quantum computing. It's a choice between mandatory coin burning and allowing spending by QC The elephant in the room is a technical one (conveniently ignored by the QRL fan's comment). A scheme like XMSS (his example) has a signature which is 38 times larger than Bitcoin's current signatures More important, it takes 50x more compute time to verify each signature. For each new block, every Bitcoin node verifies every signature in every transaction input - roughly 5000 txinputs per block. Currently, it takes a node about 9 seconds to verify a block (including the thousands of signatures), and the node network's topology is 3 or 4 layers deep. Full propagation of a new block takes in the order of 43 seconds. In the context of Bitcoin's 10-minute average block interval, the current propagation time is optimal This issue is completely absent from the OP's linked paper. The paper appears to have been written by "Doctors" with a weak understanding of the decentralization aspect of Bitcoin Also, the paper contradicts itself in the discussion about SHA256 hashing - stating that QC hashing isn't a risk to Bitcoin mining, and then claiming that it is. This type of contradiction is a common feature of research papers written partially by LLM engines The paper's justification for predicting a short QC timeframe is very shallow, not based on the reality of the incredibly slow progress of QC research
This Chaincode report is one of the clearest overviews I've seen on Bitcoin’s current vulnerabilities to quantum computing. It emphasizes how Bitcoin's ECDSA signatures are the weakest link—public keys become exposed once coins are spent, and Shor's algorithm could theoretically break those with a sufficiently powerful quantum computer. What’s particularly interesting is how the report proposes proactive migration strategies, though they hinge on user coordination and optional upgrades, which Bitcoin has always been slow to adopt. The reality is that unless there's a hard fork or some kind of universal upgrade path, a lot of coins (including Satoshi's) will remain vulnerable. This is where something like the Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) becomes relevant. QRL was built from the ground up using post-quantum secure signature schemes (XMSS, approved by NIST), not just tacked on as an afterthought. That said, it’s going to be tough for Bitcoin to shift gears without compromising some of its principles.
Nothing crazy about it. Bitcoin is the first blockchain. QRL is the first Quantum Resistant Blockchain.
Agree! QRL is the way! Quanta>Satoshis. Keep stackin' the Quanta!
Anyone with significant holdings of crypto and no QRL is a bit crazy, IMO.
The quantum resistant chains will be the most promising in the next years to come. It's still a smart money move. The academics understand the absolute difficulty and monumental task of migrating to a pq scheme. Most people call it fud or years away, but its not. Its one of the fastest developing world changing techs out there. I've only ever heard of one blockchain that has been quantum resistant since block 1, not an erc20 either. That is QRL.
QRL- crypto that is quantum resistant! Check it
No clue why you are getting downvotes. The article literally references QRL
$QRL has already been utilizing hash based quantum secure signatures for 7 years now and will be incorporating lattices this year. There's nothing you can invent that will outperform them and several other quantum resistant coins that have been here for years now
I prefer what the QRL team are doing.
Long-term for stability and modest gains: BTC & LTC (based on history, uptime, decentralization, most used, most reliable, most scarce, most secure, ETF support, etc.) Long-term with more risk and potentially much higher reward: Something that is quantum-resistant such as QRL or something that can everything very well such as ALGO I believe ETH has had its day. It does not have the first mover advantage that BTC and LTC have, and it’s suffered a lot of problems over the years with high gas fees and developers moving to other ecosystems. It increased in value because at one point it had the best tech. That is no longer the case.
Its worth mentioning that Lockheed Martin is making use of the QRL for secure communication. [https://www.benzinga.com/partner/cryptocurrency/24/07/39929194/lockheed-martin-looks-to-the-quantum-resistant-ledger-for-secure-blockchain-communication](https://www.benzinga.com/partner/cryptocurrency/24/07/39929194/lockheed-martin-looks-to-the-quantum-resistant-ledger-for-secure-blockchain-communication)
Not sure how the bot came up with these marketcaps. OZO isn't even on the list! Ckb abandoned their PQC a while ago. The most serious players appear to be QRL and QANX as both are participants in the Linux Post Quantum Cryptography Alliance. Top companies are there like NVIDIA IBM AWS GOOGLE META. Only 23 members
tldr; The article lists the top quantum-resistant tokens by market capitalization. The tokens mentioned include Ozone Chain (OZO) with a market cap of $135.38M, Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL) with $55.73M, Cellframe (CELL) with $34.48M, ILCOIN (ILC) with $2.57M, and AME Chain (AME) with $1.17M. These tokens are designed to be secure against potential future quantum computing threats, which could compromise traditional cryptographic methods. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
If you knew about non-kyc exchanges, you could have simply sent some btc to those exchanges and swapped for xrp instead. I did that for QRL recently.
Thankfully there is the Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL).
QRL is my top pick, people are figuring out that quantum isn't as far off as they thought, maybe HBAR and Monero I keep hearing about but haven't looked into them BTC def the top pick if there's another rally though. A good strong wind could 3x it I think, but I don't know if we will catch that wind.
Bitcoin of course. Some new... relatively...maybe QRL or Solx...
Quantum Resistant Ledger (QRL). Thank me later.
According to IanSmith the only Quantum Resistant Coins are QRL, CELL and MCM. He looks at the source code and wallet encryption algorithms. ABEL incorporated a MetaMask wallet extension. QANX is still a layer 2 and is not open source e.g. "Trust me bro!" undergoing an audit...just like tether. We will see alot of scams coins in the future claiming to be Quantum Resistant but aren't trying to capitalize and bamboozle the public on the QC Narrative. CKB and ALGO still aren't QC resistant to Ian.
I don't understand why QRL isn't pumping right now. DWave certainly is. Everyone in crypto seems to be pretending that their encryption is safe when most of it isn't.
QRL - Quantum Resistant Ledger
I really don't see the point rn as this is all in the past but if you insist... end of 2021 I had my first successful NFT launch with a company that brought in about 2mil from the sale, needless to say I had a nice payout from them as a dev and quit my day job. I was investing in all kinds of stuff. I think those drip tokens were popular at the time and I told everyone they were a sham (which they ended up being) because there's no way that 80% of the shitcoin being held could keep generating 1-5% per day unless something fishy was happening. Couple months later after playing in DeFi for a bit I noticed the general trend line from November was slowly tumbling and had done some research on all the cycles before that. Everyone on the internet seemed to be spouting this HODL nonsense and the news kept making BTC predictions extending to 2040 based off data from the current cycle. Over three months though the prices of everything was steadily going down so I bounced and started selling to safeguard my money (which I had to pay 40% SP income tax on) on top of just pulling what I needed to pay taxes and bills. Tried to warn said NFT ceo and community that Eth should be at the very least converted to USDC so that community funds wouldn't be lost. The CEO actually agreed with me but the community was FUDding the idea claiming any attempt to convert funds in the community wallet they were watching was a scam indication. Needless to say over the next 6 months they lost all the value of the community fund, co-op jobs with that community stopped coming in, and the market was pretty much ded. Then of course tether, FTX, and all that crap happened, in alignment with previous cycles it seems. Big company always seems to go down on the downward side. Mates and I were trying to time the bottom so we could start buying in again, money was getting harder to find so I was scraping by with dev jobs here and there but ended up losing most of the money I had pulled out for bills and paying off some other debt. Still things going well. IIRC 16000 for bitcoin we decided market had capitulated to the point we could start stacking again. My dev job downturned even more on "crypto is a scam" news so I spent about 6 months unemployed and my stack of eth dwindled a LOT. Got back on my feet at my current company and started stacking again as I could on the way back up. Friends were still holding some 4k eth they had bought but also were buying up the dip so they were getting positioned at least to take profits. Plus we made some money on memes and such with some good calls (Pepe and Pooh coin did well for us). There were a couple in the group that werent, but by the time BTC hit 60k I was still calling it a good buy and the stragglers hopped on. At 100k, look on my long chart, bitcoin is waffling again, started exiting my Eth and Btc positions around that time, little at a time b/c it could still go up, but sooner or later I expected to see a drawdown. Got tired of the sideways movement and yeeted. I don't remember the exact news for that one just not following the trendline. By mid-Feb this year I'm out of everything, because there hasn't been a big pump like previous cycles where there should be. I actually bought some at 80k again, just a little and expected to buy yesterday at 75k but obv that didn't happen, so I'm like screw it I'm up a lil bit and don't know what it's gonna do so dumped that this morning and took my little gains on it. Right now I'm basically waiting on a heavy draw-down, at least to 70k, and then start up the DCA machine again for a while and see if it zooms back up or dies down, but either way it'll be a little every week or two after that happens. If it does zoom up I'll watch that trend-line again and hopefully take profits before the lemmings jump off the cliff again. Also kinda waiting to see which huge bank or crypto company takes a dump either this year or next. I lied a little bit, I have been building up my QRL supply because I believe in the project, but I don't have a ton of money in there. I just like what they are doing so finally started dropping some coin on it.
the people working on the solutions are the QRL team, quantum safe for the last 5 years
It’s not as big of a threat to Bitcoin currently since you can take some simple steps to protect yourself from long exposure attacks by using a P2PKH or P2WPKH address type and avoiding address reuse. With these addresses types, an attacker would need a significantly more advanced quantum computer that’s able to crack keys within the time from when a transaction is broadcast until when it is mined. We have the time still to flesh out an ideal solution that will have minimal impact to blockchain size. In an emergency situation say if there was a quantum breakthrough tomorrow, it would be easy enough to implement a solution that would work, but is far from ideal. ECC depreciation isn’t recommended by NIST until 2030 still, and it’s likely we could see a soft fork for BIP-360 well before that, so there’s no point rushing out a solution now. Coins like QRL just exist to enrich their devs from FUD around quantum computing, which while quantum concerns are valid, there’s no reason to panic yet, especially when people are working on solutions.
upvoting because it's good conversation so, in that frame of mind... "bitcoin will be fine" seems a little premature of a thing to say don't you think? Especially with other cryptos putting the problem in the foreground and actually working on it right now rather than just pointing at a this-and-that BIP written a couple months ago? Bitcoin may well be fine when the time comes, but the problem is not solved, and the fact that they waited till 2024 to actually write this protocol without discussion of which NIST approved methodologies to use at all, well. It's sloppy. And lazy. QRL is just my opinion. Others are free to disagree, but when panic hits the masses it will be sudden and the response will be immediate. That's why banks and large web companies are working on and implementing solutions right now rather than sitting on it. The odd thing about breakthrus is nobody ever knows when or if they will hit. Maybe quantum will prove to be a dud, or it'll become a generational cash cow like fusion energy generation did (been 20 years out since the 1960s). The point is that some people would rather trust that it can be handled "when the time comes" while others say "there's no time like the present" and get things done.
quit your crying, buy some QRL, lol
Dunno. I already bought a shitload of QRL, no idea why other people haven’t caught on yet but I’m glad they didn’t.
QRL is leading the packing for sure
It’s clear this is the next major looming discussion in crypto, yet only few choose to acknowledge it. Well it’s happening whether the rest of the many like it or not 🤷♂️ I like to focus on companies and projects that are actively positioning themselves, and preparing for the inevitable threat. Have a feeling that: $QANX $QRL Will become major household names in the crypto space. I’m sure there are others that may emerge but these are the two I know of forsure with professional teams. 
If you're truly looking longterm there is no harm in hedging with a quantum secure cryptocurrency, because in 10 years time at most existing cryptography will be broken causing some serious pain points for cryptocurrencies that get caught with their pants down. For example even if bitcoin implements the year long+ upgrade to a secure algorithm existing wallets can be vulnerable depending on certain criteria and one of those is Satoshis wallet, so that alone would cause markets to change drastically. No harm imo having a small position in the only quantum resistant, up to NIST recommended cryptographic standards, the cryptocurrency QRL :3 This isn't spin, almost all other cryptocurrencies claiming quantum resistance have massive flaws that render any efforts implementing QR algorithms pointless due to weaknesses elsewhere.
