#BTC Don't panic! Quantum computer icon is still far from hacking BTC.


The cryptocurrency circle has been in an uproar recently, discussing whether quantum computers will crack BTC. It's scaring everyone, but there's really no need to worry about this at all.
To put it simply, today's quantum computers are like toddlers just learning to walk. Google's latest icon, Willow, has only a few hundred qubits, while cracking the BTC encryption algorithm would require at least several million. This gap is similar to an ant trying to shake a tree.
Just having quantum bits is not enough, you also need to use special algorithms for continuous computation. Current quantum computers cannot even achieve stable operation, let alone crack such complex encryption systems.
The ECDSA encryption algorithm used by BTC is no joke. Even if all existing quantum computers are stacked together, it's still useless to try to crack the 256-bit encryption.
When will quantum computers pose a real threat to BTC? Let them learn to walk first.
