Google quantum threat to Bitcoin

Google Quantum AI researchers have found that quantum computers may be able to break the elliptic curve cryptography used to protect Bitcoin, ether, and most major cryptocurrencies sooner than previously believed.

Glen Gilmore cited research indicating that fewer than 500,000 physical qubits may be required for such an attack, raising security concerns for digital assets.

Gilmore has previously discussed how AI agents are utilizing crypto for financial rails and verification. He has also tracked technology investment trends, noting that low earth orbit projects have attracted billions in funding from firms such as Nvidia and SpaceX. The researcher remains an active commentator on the intersection of emerging technologies and digital assets.
