🧬 Bitcoin’s Quantum Countdown — Experts Warn of Possible Breakthrough Within 2 Years Crypto researcher Edwards warns that quantum technologies could be capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography within just 2 years — and he’s not alone in sounding the alarm. Here’s what other experts are saying: 🔴 Jameson Lopp (2024): 50% chance of a quantum break within 4–9 years. 🔴 Pierre-Luc Dallaire-Demers (2025): Elliptic curve cryptography could be cracked in 2–6 years. 🔴 McKinsey (2024): “Q-Day” may arrive in 2–10 years, with elliptic curves likely to fall before RSA-2048. 🔴 Microsoft, IonQ & Meta (2017): Estimated ≈2330 qubits required to break BTC — a level expected within 4 years. 🔴 U.S. Department of Defense (2025): 👉 Cryptographically significant quantum computers could emerge within 3 years. #News Alpha | Chat
