The quantum computer that will break your Bitcoin is already being built

Why wait for “quantum-proof” security until after you smell smoke? Imagine someone is recording every encrypted message you send today—banking details, seed phrases, late-night chats—and shelving them in a warehouse. They can’t read any of it yet, but they’re patient. They’re waiting for a special key that unlocks everything at once.

That key is a quantum computer powerful enough to crack today’s encryption. The warehouse is already being filled by nation-states and patient adversaries. The timeline? Shorter than your mortgage.
