Show Notes
Quantum computers pose a threat to Bitcoin, but current technology makes large-scale attacks impossible. Shors algorithm could potentially crack wallets, but requires massive qubit armies and error-proofing. Crypto Twitter panics over breakthrough claims, but many demos cheat with easy numbers or pre-processing on classical machines. Wallet risks hit older addresses with exposed keys, but devs push upgrades like quantum-resistant signatures and less key reuse. Physics walls off the wildest quantum attacks on Bitcoin for now, with markets betting low on mining changes and higher on wallet fixes.
