What if Quantum Computers Cracked Bitcoin Today?

admin

If a quantum computer capable of breaking modern encryption were to come online today, Bitcoin would likely be under attack — and no one would know. “Everything would look like legitimate access,” David Carvalho, CEO of post-quantum infrastructure company Naoris Protocol, told Cointelegraph. “When you think you’re seeing a quantum computer out there, it’s already been in control for months.” “You wouldn’t even know,” he said.
