Google's latest quantum breakthrough cuts the timeline to a Bitcoin-breaking computer. RSA can now be cracked with 20x fewer resources than previously estimated.

Key facts:
- ~1.7M BTC in legacy P2PK addresses already exposed
- "Harvest now, decrypt later" attacks are happening TODAY
- BIP 360 (quantum-resistant bc1z addresses) testnet is LIVE
- Your bc1q address is safe — as long as you haven't spent from it
