$BITCOIN Mining Is Safe from Quantum Threats—for Now

New academic research suggests that using a quantum computer to attack the Bitcoin network is far from realistic. One study found that breaking the blockchain through quantum mining would require an amount of energy comparable to that produced by a star—making such an attack practically impossible with current or near-future technology.

In a separate study, researchers demonstrated that many so-called “quantum factoring breakthroughs” can actually be replicated using something as simple as a 1981 home computer—and even a dog—highlighting how exaggerated some claims about quantum capabilities may be.$BTC
