Solana at quantum risk
Solana is highly optimized around elliptic curve cryptography, which will need a complete rebuild under quantum-safe cryptography. This may reduce throughput and performance, making Solana particularly vulnerable to the quantum transition.
SOL MED

Long Zcash vs Bitcoin
Bitcoin is slow to upgrade its cryptography, so post-quantum-resistant coins like Zcash are likely to outperform Bitcoin as the quantum threat materializes. He suggests watching the ZEC/BTC ratio.
