DLNews reported that Bitcoin mining companies are facing a triple whammy, including quantum computing. The media stated, "The biggest threat is quantum computing. This threat comes at a time when miners, who form the backbone of Bitcoin's security mechanism, are massively migrating to artificial intelligence (AI). To make matters worse, network activity is so negligible that mining companies' profits are not even close to the break-even point." It warned, "If quantum computing becomes a reality and more miners transfer their infrastructure to AI, the Bitcoin network could collapse in an instant." Nick Hansen, CEO of Luxor, a Bitcoin mining software and services company, said in an interview, "Worry has reached an extreme," adding, "There are no positive catalysts at the moment."
