Musk asked Grok about the probability of quantum computing cracking the Bitcoin algorithm (SHA-256), and Grok replied that it will be almost zero in the next five years

BlockBeats News: On August 3rd, based on IBM's article on the progress of quantum computer research, Musk asked Grok about the probability of quantum computing cracking the Bitcoin algorithm (SHA-256). Grok replied that according to the assessment of NIST, IBM, and expert surveys for 2025, the probability of quantum computing cracking SHA-256 is "almost 0% in the next 5 years and will be below 10% by 2035". This requires millions of error correcting qubits; However, the current system only supports a maximum of about 1000 noise qubits. The hash value of Bitcoin is still secure at present.
