#Saylor Dismisses Quantum Computing Threat as #Token Marketing

#MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor dismisses #quantum computing concerns as marketing tactics from "quantum yo-yo token" sellers.

The executive chairman argues that tech giants like Google and Microsoft wouldn't release quantum computers capable of breaking modern #cryptography.

Such technology would destroy their own businesses and threaten U.S. government infrastructure, making public release unlikely.

Project Eleven research indicates 10 million $BTC addresses have exposed public keys potentially vulnerable to quantum attacks.

Saylor maintains that $BTC would simply receive necessary software and hardware upgrades if legitimate threats emerged.

He notes it's 10,000 times more likely users will lose $BTC to phishing attacks than quantum computing breaches.

Current quantum computers from IBM and Google operate at 156 and 105 qubits, far below the estimated 2,000 logical qubits needed to break $BTC's encryption.
