Whoa, is Bitcoin running out of time? Maybe only 5-10 years left? Google CEO: Practical quantum computers could emerge within 5 to 10 years. Google's latest quantum chip can complete a calculation in 5 minutes, while the world's fastest supercomputer would take '10 quintillion years' to do the same task. What's even more critical is that he said this breakthrough proves quantum error correction is heading toward large-scale application. If this iteration progresses as expected, then crypto and Bitcoin might really not have much time left. When fault-tolerant quantum computers mature, traditional elliptic curve encryption systems will face serious challenges. Hopefully, the Bitcoin community can speed up its iterations and complete a network-wide cryptographic upgrade before quantum computing becomes capable of attacks. AI isn't even done running its course, and now quantum computing is here. The next tech war might be a battle between computational power and cryptography. #Bitcoin #Crypto #QuantumComputing #Tech
