At first, you think, come on, Bitcoin unsafe? But then you actually read the numbers and it gets… uncomfortable. According to this analysis, up to 32–35% of Bitcoin supply could be exposed to future quantum attacks, while for XRP it’s just 0.03%.
📊 Bitcoin exposes public keys in certain cases, especially older wallets - and there are about 6.9M BTC sitting there, including coins that haven’t moved in years.
📊 XRP works differently: your key isn’t exposed until you actually send funds.
And here’s where it gets interesting. Google basically hinted that breaking current encryption might become realistic within years, not decades. Not today - but close enough that people started doing the math seriously.
💬 From my side, this isn’t a “XRP vs BTC” debate. It’s more like a reminder that even the strongest systems have blind spots, especially when tech evolves faster than expected.
Bitcoin will probably adapt, like it always does. But the real question is timing - because markets don’t wait for perfect upgrades.
So the uncomfortable thought is: what happens first - the fix… or the problem becoming real?
