โ ๏ธ The Core Threat
BlackRock warns quantum computing could break Bitcoin's security by:
- Cracking ECDSA encryption (via Shor's algorithm)
- Stealing private keys from exposed public keys
- Manipulating transactions โ $40K BTC dump?
---
### โณ Timeline of Risk
- 5-7 years: Estimated time until quantum computers might threaten BTC
- 25% of BTC currently in vulnerable wallets (reusing addresses)
- Googleโs warning: Quantum breaks RSA 20x faster than thought
---
### ๐ก๏ธ How Bitcoin Could Survive
1๏ธโฃ Post-Quantum Cryptography (New encryption standards)
2๏ธโฃ Wallet Upgrades (P2PKH hides keys until spending)
3๏ธโฃ Network Hard Forks (Emergency security patches)
---
### ๐จ What You Should Do NOW
โ Use P2PKH wallets (like most modern wallets)
โ Avoid address reuse (biggest quantum risk)
โ Donโt panic sell โ Solutions are being developed
---
### ๐ฎ Bottom Line
This is a long-term risk, not an imminent crash trigger. Stay informed, but hodl smart: 
- Follow Bitcoin Core dev updates
- Diversify storage (hardware wallets + multisig)
- Ignore FUD โ tech evolves faster than threats
