Elon Musk joked that forgotten Bitcoin wallets may become accessible in the future, as Google Quantum AI warned that quantum computers could break elliptic curve cryptography with fewer resources than previously thought, increasing urgency for post-quantum upgrades.
Elon Musk joked that future quantum computers might help users recover lost Bitcoin wallets, following a Google Quantum AI paper warning that breaking elliptic curve cryptography may require fewer resources than previously thought. The report underscores growing urgency around post-quantum cryptography for blockchains.
Elon Musk joked that forgotten crypto wallet passwords may become accessible in the future, as Google Quantum AI warned that quantum computers could break elliptic curve cryptography with fewer resources than previously expected.
Google set 2029 as a post-quantum cryptography migration deadline, sparking Bitcoin security fears. Analysis shows even if quantum breaks elliptic curves by then, malicious actors may need 30+ years to operationalize it. Bitcoin remains safe short-term.
Elon Musk joked that forgotten Bitcoin wallet passwords might become recoverable in the future, after Google Quantum AI warned that quantum computers may break current crypto security faster than expected. The discussion has renewed focus on post-quantum cryptography and risks facing dormant Bitcoin wallets.
Galaxy Digital's Alex Thorn says Satoshi's Bitcoins are distributed across ~22,000 P2PK addresses, making quantum attacks difficult. He warns centralized exchanges are real targets, and the market could accept a 50% drop to preserve property rights.
Algorand (ALGO) surged 51.6% to $0.1266 in a week, fueled by Google's quantum computing paper citing it 32 times as a post-quantum benchmark. Adoption by Revolut and PostFinance adds bullish momentum. Technical breakout targets $0.20.
Algorand (ALGO) surged 51.6% in a week to $0.1266, driven by Google's quantum computing paper citing its tech 32 times. Integration with Revolut and PostFinance adds retail access. Technical breakout targets $0.1320 resistance, with $0.20 in sight.
