Quantum computer researchers: Bitcoin encryption breakable in a few years (heise.de)

• Quantum computing risks to ECDSA protocols identified.
• Urgent need for post-quantum cryptographic implementation.
• Potential threat to global financial asset security.

"Recent research indicates that advancements in quantum computing could render Bitcoin's current ECDSA encryption vulnerable within the next few years. This represents a systemic risk to digital financial sovereignty, as the underlying elliptic curve cryptography is susceptible to Shor’s algorithm. Security analysts are calling for an immediate migration to post-quantum cryptographic standards to prevent the compromise of decentralized ledgers."
