In brief Today’s quantum computers are far too small and unstable to threaten real-world cryptography. Early Bitcoin wallets with exposed public keys are most at risk in the long term. Developers are exploring post-quantum signatures and potential migration paths. Quantum computers can’t break Bitcoin’s encryption today, but new advances from Google and IBM suggest the gap is closing faster…

Dev scowled as she pulled the cover up even higher, the granola bar she had been munching on still in hand. “You’re washing your sheets anyway.” She pointed out before finishing the bar before he could say anything else. She stretched her arms over her head and relished in the delicious soreness that could have only come from their previous activities before letting out a little yawn and curling up beside him. She took his hand and wrapped it around her waist before looking up at him, features softening till there was only but a small cunning smile curling at the edges of her lips.

Another tense silence passed before he let out a sigh. 

“I’ll clean it up.”
