Projected Advancement of Quantum‑Computing Threats to Bitcoin (Q‑Day Shift) — E8 Intelligence Research
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Discovered via YouTube Monitor: "Google Just Moved Q-Day Up By 6 Years (Nobody Is Talking About This)" (Julia McCoy) URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYaODWIg8Ok Julia McCoy argues that breakthroughs in quantum hardware will enable a practical attack on Bitcoin's cryptographic chain by 2029, effectively moving the anticipated 'Q‑Day' six years earlier than most academic forecasts. She cites recent improvements in error‑corrected qubit counts and reduced decoherence times as the technical drivers of this acceleration. Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
