Today’s quantum computers can’t multiply numbers reliably, let alone even process a large number.
You can give a quantum computer your private keys and it can’t handle the forward point multiplication needed for an elliptic curve. A quantum computer could be given a seed phrase and it can’t generate the key pairs and derivation paths.
Until there’s a quantum computer that can do basic arithmetic like pocket calculator from the 1980s, we should stop pretending there’s some imminent threat.
And we should stop funding fraudulent research claiming factorization breakthroughs.
⚡️📰 NEW - Barron’s latest cover pushes Bitcoin quantum computing FUD.
The “Barron’s cover curse” says a positive cover feature often marks the top.
Since this is FUD, it means we are going higher.
