D-Wave CEO just went live on Yahoo Finance claiming they cracked quantum-resistant $BTC mining
The pitch:
• New quantum-proof PoW architecture
• 1000x less energy than current mining
• Protects $BTC from quantum threats
D-Wave's a $6B publicly traded quantum company. Not some anon dev team.
If this holds up, it's massive for mining economics and the "quantum will kill crypto" FUD.
But let's be real - changing Bitcoin's PoW consensus is a political nightmare. Miners won't just flip a switch.
Still, this is the type of institutional R&D that keeps $BTC antifragile long-term.
Quantum FUD officially has a counter-narrative.
