PANews reported on March 31 that Yishi, founder of OneKey, tweeted that the so-called "Google 2029 deadline" is merely an internal migration target and has no direct relation to when Bitcoin will be compromised by quantum computing. Linking the two is misleading. Yishi stated that the claim of "6.26 million BTC at risk" is inaccurate. Only early P2PK addresses have long-term public key exposure; standard addresses, if not reused, will not expose their public keys. Including all addresses in the risk list is an exaggeration. Furthermore, he emphasized that Bitcoin uses signatures, not encryption, and there is no "store first, then break" attack path. Currently, quantum devices only have a few thousand noisy qubits, while breaking ECDSA requires millions of stable qubits. He stated that the quantum threat is real but not imminent, and the Bitcoin community is already advancing post-quantum cryptography solutions, so there is no need for panic.
