Google Cuts Quantum Cracking Timeline 20x, Renewing Bitcoin and Crypto Security Debate

A new paper from Google Quantum AI has compressed the estimated hardware requirements for breaking elliptic-curve cryptography – the signature scheme underpinning Bitcoin and crypto transactions – by roughly 20-fold, moving a long-running theoretical threat measurably closer to an engineering problem.

Younger people, for example, show a higher tolerance for risk. More than 64% of Gen Z and 49% of millennials say they are willing to take on more of it.
