Bitcoin Bombshell: Google’s 2029 Quantum Warning Sparks New Fear
Google’s decision to pull its post-quantum cryptography migration timeline forward to 2029 has landed hard in Bitcoin and crypto, because the company did not just change a policy deadline. It paired that warning with a new whitepaper arguing that breaking the 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography used across major blockchains may require far fewer quantum resources […]
