A former Google engineer just dropped some serious knowledge about why quantum computers won't crack Bitcoin.



Here's the wild part: Bitcoin seed phrases generate more possible key combinations than there are stars in every galaxy combined. Yeah, let that sink in for a second.

The math is actually insane. We're talking about numbers so massive that even the most powerful quantum computer would need longer than the universe's lifetime to brute-force through them. It's not just "really hard" — it's practically impossible.

So while everyone's freaking out about quantum threats, BTC's cryptographic foundation remains solid. The key space is just astronomically huge. No quantum breakthrough changes that fundamental reality.

Turns out Bitcoin's security model was built tougher than most people realize.

Damn, this math is insane. There are more keys than stars.

Oh no, here come the quantum panic mongers again... It's been said long ago that BTC's key space is astronomical in size. This wave of public opinion should have been dispelled already.

Wait, are you saying that Bitcoin's key space is larger than the number of stars in the universe? Then quantum computers would have to wait until the sun explodes to crack it—the launch window is permanently closed.

This round of popular science is telling the truth; the quantum threat theory should have quieted down long ago.

Wait, does Bitcoin’s keyspace really outnumber the stars in the universe? Is that for real?
