Google Quantum AI published research showing they've tailored Shor's algorithm to attack Bitcoin's ECDSA with fewer than 1,200 logical qubits. The headlines are alarming, but the physical reality tells a different story. The gap between 96 entangled qubits and 500,000 fault-tolerant ones is an unsolved engineering problem. Bitcoin developers are already building the fix with SHRIMPS and BIP-360, but rushing changes could be more dangerous than the threat itself.
