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.

That moves Q-Day from "sometime in the 2030s" to 2029. Maybe sooner.

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
