Google’s quantum project "Willow" is a breakthrough, but it raises concerns for Bitcoin’s security. Bitcoin’s encryption relies on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), which quantum computers could crack faster than classical machines. Though current quantum systems like Willow are far from this capability, rapid advancements could make Bitcoin vulnerable in the future.
AI adds to this risk by potentially identifying weaknesses in blockchain systems, amplifying the threat of quantum decryption. However, the crypto community is already exploring post-quantum cryptography to defend against this.
While the danger isn’t imminent, preparing now is crucial to protect decentralized finance.
