#Strategy加码BTC配置 Quantum computing has been a hot topic in the news over the past two years, but the actual technical difficulties are often overlooked. Did you know? Even basic middle school math problems like factoring 21 into 3 and 7 require significant effort from current quantum computers. And what about the legendary Grover's algorithm? It sounds impressive, but in reality, it only reduces the difficulty of cracking SHA-256 from 2^256 to 2^128—still an astronomical number, physically impossible to achieve.



To truly threaten the Bitcoin network, a quantum computer would need to perform unimaginable calculations within minutes. This difficulty is over ten thousand times higher than the leap from the vintage computers of the 1950s to today. And don’t forget, modern cryptographers have designed cryptography with exponential growth in computational power in mind from the very beginning. So, most of the anxiety about quantum computing cracking cryptocurrencies is likely due to a lack of technical understanding combined with media hype. $BTC $ETH $BNB's security, in the foreseeable future, does not face any real quantum threat.

Honestly, I'm already tired of the panic about quantum computing; the media really likes to hype things up.

It's the same old rhetoric, honestly I've heard it enough times. The quantum threat theory is just a FUD machine; it needs to be brought up and hyped every now and then. Anyone who truly understands technology knows that those sensational headlines claiming "quantum computing will destroy Bitcoin" are pure nonsense. 2 to the power of 128 is still an astronomical number, and the media will never be able to explain this clearly. To be honest, instead of worrying about the quantum threat, it's more practical to focus on current on-chain security and exchange withdrawals. I've seen too many projects evaporate overnight; quantum computing? That's way off, my friend. Anyway, I still need to hold my BTC; this little FUD won't change anything.

Haha, finally someone is talking about this. The anxiety over quantum computing has really been exaggerated. The media loves to create panic and scare retail investors. I've seen through it long ago. 2 to the 128th power is still an astronomical number. Actually cracking Bitcoin is even harder than going to the moon. Just hold your coins and be done with it.

Quantum cracking BTC? Sounds intimidating, but it's actually still far off. I think this wave of anxiety is purely media-induced panic. --- Even the powerful Grover algorithm only halves the difficulty; 2^128 is still an astronomical number, and no one can compute it. --- Anyway, now is the time to just hold BTC patiently. Don't overthink the quantum threats. --- It's already 2024, and people are still hyping the quantum threat theory. Come on, cryptography has been designed with these considerations in mind from the very beginning. --- Honestly, quantum computing is still struggling to factor 21, so what's there to worry about?
