Crypto Security Questionnaire

SECTION 1 — SCREENER & PROFILE

Do you currently hold crypto in any form?

When you last chose a custodian or exchange, which factors influenced your decision most? (rank)

1

Reputation / brand trust

1

Ease of use / product experience

1

Fees and transaction costs

1

Supported coins / trading pairs

1

Security of my assets

SECTION 2 — SECURITY ATTITUDES (PRE-QUANTUM)

How important is it to you that your custodian or exchange actively invests in security technology?

Have you ever moved your assets away from a custodian or exchange because of a security concern?

A

Yes, I moved assets after a breach or hack at that platform

B

Yes, I moved because I lost confidence in their security practices

C

No, but I've seriously considered it

D

No, security has not driven my custodian decisions

If you learned that a custodian had experienced a significant security incident in the past, how would that affect your likelihood of using them?

A

I would not use them under any circumstances

B

It would be a major deterrent — I'd need strong reassurance before trusting them

C

I'd factor it in, but it wouldn't automatically disqualify them

D

It wouldn't meaningfully affect my decision

SECTION 3 — QUANTUM RISK AWARENESS & REACTION

A brief note before the next few questions. Quantum computers are an emerging class of machines that solve certain problems far faster than today's computers. Security researchers have established that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could break the cryptographic protections that most cryptocurrency wallets — including Bitcoin — rely on to secure private keys.

Before reading the note above, how aware were you that quantum computing poses a potential risk to cryptocurrency security?

A

Very aware — I've been following this closely

B

Somewhat aware — I'd heard of it but hadn't thought about it deeply

C

Slightly aware — I'd seen it mentioned but didn't understand the implications

D

Not at all aware — this is new information to me

If you discovered that your current custodian had no plan to protect against quantum computing threats, what would you do?

A

Move my assets to a custodian that does have a quantum security plan

B

Reduce my holdings with them while researching alternatives

C

Raise the issue with them but stay in the meantime

D

Not take any immediate action — I'd wait and see

E

Not be concerned — I don't view this as a real risk

If you were choosing between two otherwise equal custodians, and one had a documented quantum security program while the other did not, which would you choose?

A

The one with quantum security — without hesitation

B

Probably the one with quantum security, depending on other factors

C

I'd consider both equally — quantum security wouldn't tip the decision

D

It wouldn't matter to me either way

SECTION 4 — TRUST

Would you be willing to pay slightly higher fees to use a custodian that was demonstrably more protected against quantum computing threats?

A

Yes — I'd pay meaningfully more for that assurance

B

Yes — but only a small premium (e.g., under 10% more in fees)

C

Maybe — it would depend on how large the fee difference was

D

No — I don't think I'd pay more for this

Do you think most cryptocurrency custodians are currently taking the quantum threat seriously?

A

Yes — I believe the industry is well-prepared

B

Somewhat — some are, but it's not widespread

C

No — I don't think the industry is taking this seriously enough

D

I have no way of knowing

Is there anything else you'd like to share about how security — including emerging threats like quantum computing — affects your choices around where you hold your crypto?
