Original Note:
Quantum computers like Google’s Willow can’t break Bitcoin. Cracking its ECC encryption requires ~1,500 logical qubits (millions of physical ones). Willow has 105 physical qubits—far too few. The threat is decades away, and Bitcoin can upgrade to quantum-resistant tech. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00339-5
