Elon just weighed in on quantum computing's real ceiling
Oxford physicist Tim Palmer says quantum computers might hit a brick wall around 400 qubits because of hard physics limits
Musk's take: "The universe is integer in units of Planck cubes"
Meanwhile Google's researchers think you'd need hundreds of thousands of working qubits to crack $BTC encryption
The gap between 400 and hundreds of thousands isn't small. If Palmer's right, $BTC's cryptography stays safe for a long time
Quantum FUD might be overblown
