Bitcoin anchors energy into information — open-source physics.
But quantum computing isn’t abstract anymore. IBM has over 1,000 qubits, and Microsoft, Google, Amazon are pushing toward fault-tolerant systems. These prototypes aren’t breaking Bitcoin yet — but they could break encryption in future.
If they succeed, ECDSA (used in Bitcoin) becomes vulnerable. The real danger isn’t quantum theory — it’s centralized quantum power breaking decentralized trust.
