Google Says Fewer Qubits Needed to Break Crypto Encryption
New Google research suggests quantum computers may break crypto encryption with far fewer qubits than previously expected.
Bitcoin is the first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency, created as a decentralized digital alternative to traditional money. It operates on a public blockchain that records all transactions transparently and immutably, without relying on banks or central authorities. Bitcoin introduced the concept of peer-to-peer digital value transfer, secured by cryptography and a global network of miners. Its fixed supply of 21 million coins is designed to make it scarce, often leading to comparisons with digital gold. Over time, Bitcoin has evolved from a niche experiment into a globally traded asset, widely used as a store of value, investment vehicle, and benchmark for the entire crypto market.
