⚠️ Bitcoin vs. Quantum Computing: Is Crypto Really Safe?
🚀 The Rise of Bitcoin
Bitcoin continues to soar, but beneath the hype lies a growing threat — quantum computing. This revolutionary tech could break the very cryptography that secures your Bitcoin.
🔐 ECC Under Fire
Bitcoin relies on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), but algorithms like Shor’s could crack it once quantum machines mature. Over 25% of Bitcoin is already exposed, especially from reused addresses and dormant wallets.
🧨 Harvest Now, Decrypt Later
Hackers can collect encrypted data today and decrypt it in the future. Even Satoshi Nakamoto’s untouched coins could be vulnerable on Q-Day.
🛡️ The Shift to Quantum-Safe Crypto
Governments and tech giants are preparing. NIST is developing post-quantum algorithms, and the NSA plans to retire ECC by 2035. Yet, Bitcoin has yet to adapt.
✅ What You Should Do
Stop reusing old addresses
Monitor crypto security updates
Prepare for quantum-resistant wallets
