🚨 Elon Musk Questions Grok: Can Quantum Computers Hack Bitcoin? 🤖💥
In a recent exchange, Elon Musk asked Grok—X’s AI chatbot—if quantum computers could break Bitcoin's security. This came shortly after IBM revealed their ambitious quantum computing roadmap, including the powerful “Blue Jay” system expected by 2033. 🧠⚛️
Grok responded with some reassurance: Bitcoin is safe for now. The AI estimated there's less than a 1% chance of Bitcoin’s SHA-256 encryption being cracked by 2030, and under 10% by 2035. Current quantum machines only have around 1,000 noisy qubits, but it would take millions to even come close to breaking Bitcoin. 🔐🛰️
Still, Grok hinted that crypto could someday upgrade to even stronger protection—like SHA-3 or SHA-512.
Fun Fact:
🔹 Tesla holds 11,509 $BTC (~$1.31B)
🔹 SpaceX owns around $850M in Bitcoin
🔹 Musk himself is a BTC holder!
