🚨BREAKING: Google warns quantum computing could pose a real threat to Bitcoin sooner than expected.
New research suggests a quantum attack could crack Bitcoin encryption in just ~9 minutes—faster than a typical block confirmation—implying up to a 41% success rate under certain conditions.
Google’s quantum team estimates fewer than 500,000 qubits may be needed, far below earlier projections in the millions.
2029 is now being flagged as a critical deadline for Bitcoin to upgrade its cryptography before quantum risks become reality.$BTC
