Developers are considering ways to quantum-proof the world’s oldest cryptocurrency as the threat of this computing moves beyond a hypothetical. What to know: Google researchers say a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could break Bitcoin’s core cryptography in under nine minutes, raising concerns that such a threat could emerge as soon as 2029.
