google: “we can crack bitcoin in 9 minutes and 2029 is deadline to figure out a solution” you know we’re near bear market lows when quantum fud starts trending again. But their best chip has 105 qubits, the attack needs 500,000. that’s like a guy with a ladder saying he’s going to the moon. ETH’s been prepping since 2018, BTC has draft proposals (BIP-360) but no coordinated plan yet. So next 5 years realistically: > quantum hardware improves, stays nowhere near attack-capable > ETH finishes migration first, pressures btc to move > BTC community starts seriously pushing BIP-360 > Satoshi’s coins become the loudest talking point forcing urgency (bottleneck isn’t crypto, it’s consensus) What you can do: if you hold coins in old wallets or addresses you’ve already spent from, pay extra attention. those have exposed public keys. Beyond that: > don’t use taproot (bc1p) for long-term cold storage > use native segwit (bc1q). your public key stays hidden until you spend > this doesn’t make risk zero, but it greatly reduces your exposure window THIS IS NOT a doomsday story. If you sell your bag over quantum fud in a bear market and miss the next ath you have no one to blame but yourself lol. same energy as the people who panic sold at 16k over ftx in 2022. Breathe! Accumulate!! we’ve seen this movie before.
