⚡ Bitcoin Could Be Cracked by Quantum Computers Within Two Years
Researcher Charles Edwards (Capriole Investments) warns that quantum technology could break Bitcoin’s cryptography by 2027.
He says the community has no more than two years to act — “otherwise, it’ll be too late.”
Edwards cites others:
• Jameson Lopp: 50% chance of a quantum breach within 4–9 years;
• Pierre-Luc Daller-Demers: possible attack in 2–6 years;
• McKinsey: “Q-Day” may come in 2–10 years, Bitcoin could fall before RSA;
• Microsoft, IonQ, Meta: 2330 qubits needed — expected in 4 years;
• U.S. Department of Defense: significant quantum systems possible in 3 years.
If correct, crypto faces its greatest security race ever — to save Bitcoin itself.
