🔮 Quantum Countdown: IBM’s 2029 Quantum Computer & Bitcoin’s Future

Breaking: IBM’s "Quantum Starling" – the world’s first fault-tolerant quantum computer – could arrive by 2029, raising questions about crypto security.

⚡ Why It Matters for Bitcoin

▪️ Fault tolerance = Quantum machines powerful enough to break current encryption

▪️ IBM’s new error-correction tech cuts required qubits by 90%

▪️ Target timeline: 2029-2033 for scalable quantum threats

🛡️ Is Bitcoin Ready?

✅ Short-term: Still safe – today’s quantum computers too error-prone

⚠️ Long-term: Developers must adopt quantum-resistant cryptography (like lattice-based schemes)

💡 The Bigger Picture

🌐 IBM’s focus: Chemistry, AI, materials science (not just "cracking Bitcoin")

🔐 Blockchains at risk: BTC, ETH, XRP – all need upgrades if quantum leaps ahead

"The quantum era isn’t coming… it’s already being built."
