๐จ YOUR $BTC PRIVATE KEYS COULD BE CRACKED IN 9 MINUTES.
Google researchers just revealed a major quantum breakthrough that could break crypto security far sooner than expected.
They improved Shorโs algorithm by ~20x, meaning a future quantum computer (~500K qubits) could:
โข Crack private keys in ~9 minutes
โข Roughly match Bitcoinโs block time
โข Turn mempool attacks into a real threat
Timeline shift is the scary part.
They now point to ~2029 for this level of power, not the mid-2030s.
Instead of publishing the full method, they only released a proof it exists. That almost never happens.
CZโs take: โNo need to panicโฆ crypto just needs to upgrade to post-quantum algorithms.โ
The clock is already ticking.
