French quantum computing firm Alice & Bob just dropped a preprint claiming $BTC could get cracked with ~30K specialized qubits in 62 minutes using Shor's algorithm.
Their take? Sell your crypto before 2030 and run back to banks.
Literally asking people to abandon decentralized money for the same broken system we're trying to escape. Pure FUD wrapped in academic paper.
Here's the reality:
- 30K error-corrected qubits don't exist yet
- $BTC devs aren't sitting idle—quantum-resistant upgrades are already in discussion
- Banks aren't quantum-proof either, they're just not transparent about it
This isn't a reason to panic. It's a reminder that crypto evolves. Always has.
If quantum becomes a real threat, the network adapts. That's the entire point of decentralized consensus.
Retrogression is going back to banks. Evolution is building quantum-resistant chains.
