Breaking News! The threshold for quantum computers to crack Bitcoin has been significantly lowered!



According to the latest report from the Bitcoin Policy Institute:

Recent research by institutions such as Google shows that the number of quantum bits required for quantum computers to break Bitcoin's elliptic curve encryption has plummeted from the previously estimated 10 million to less than 500,000, and it could even be as low as 10,000 to 26,000!

Although quantum technology is still far from practical levels, the Bitcoin community has already taken action!
✅ Quantum-resistant proposal BIP-360 testnet was launched for testing in March this year
✅ Taproot (activated in 2021) has already reserved a perfect path for quantum-resistant upgrades

The report clearly states: the quantum threat to Bitcoin is not insurmountable, and developers are steadily advancing defensive mechanisms; Bitcoin's security remains rock solid!

🔥 This once again proves: Bitcoin is not static digital gold, but a continuously self-evolving decentralized system!

What do you think about the impact of this quantum research on the long-term value of BTC?

Is it excessive worry, or does it remind us to lay out quantum-resistant solutions earlier?
