quantum acceleration and crypto post-quantum urgency

March 31, 2026Max the VC, Haseeb >|<, Andrew Côté

Max the VC, Haseeb, Andrew Côté, and Chamath Palihapitiya amplify Google’s Shor’s algorithm efficiency gains, framing a faster timeline to break ECDSA and pushing urgency for post-quantum migration around 2029.

We’ve cut the quantum resources needed to break Bitcoin’s encryption by 20x.
Google Research demonstrates a ~20x more efficient implementation of Shor's algorithm
Google published a paper showing it can be done with 500,000 qubits in 20 minutes.
Google is now are more confident on a 2029 post-quantum transition.
This paper from Google, though, is quite reasonable
