Back to EpisodesGoogle's Quantum AI: Bitcoin's Blockchain Under Threat
Description
Googles Quantum AI team reveals quantum computers could potentially crack Bitcoins blockchain with fewer than 1,500 high-quality qubits, down from previous estimates of millions. This threatens the security of Bitcoin transactions, especially with the Taproot upgrade making public keys visible. Ethereum may have some protection due to faster deal confirmations, but overall, the crypto world needs to bolster defenses against quantum attacks as they become more feasible.
