**Is Quantum Computing About to Disrupt Everything? BTC Encryption Only Has 2 Years and 4 Months Left**

According to the latest predictions from the Quantum Doomsday Clock Project, quantum computers could crack BTC encryption as early as March 8, 2028. It sounds a bit scary, but this isn’t some conspiracy theory.

Key data: Cracking BTC requires 1,673 logical qubits; cracking RSA-2048 requires 2,314. Given the current pace of quantum chip development, this threshold might actually be broken soon.

IBM’s CTO has already said that the quantum threat is arriving faster than expected. Most notably, BTQ Technologies has already demonstrated a quantum-protected version of BTC—replacing ECDSA signatures with the NIST-approved ML-DSA. The $2 trillion BTC market is urgently reinforcing its defenses.

**Current Situation:** This is no longer just talk—major projects are all accelerating migration to post-quantum cryptography. If the BTC community doesn’t solve this by 2028, things could get very problematic.

Interestingly, some wallets using pay-to-public-key-hash might have an extra security window—but that’s just a temporary solution.
