Cointelegraph and others amplify Google quantum research claims that Bitcoin keys could be cracked quickly, while CZ and Bitcoin Magazine argue the path forward is upgrading to post-quantum algorithms and BIPs already being worked on.
🚨 BIG: Google research shows a future quantum computer could crack Bitcoin's private keys in just 9 mins, 1 min short of Bitcoin's average block time.
🚨BIG WARNING: GOOGLE JUST SHOWED THE WORLD HOW TO HACK EVERY CRYPTO WALLET!!!
Saw some people panicking or asking about quantum computing's impact on crypto. At a high level, all crypto has to do is to upgrade to Quantum-Resistant (Post-Quantum) Algorithms. So, no need to panic.
