 Extremely low, if it's cracked bitcoin probably wouldn't be it's first target, whole world runs on sha256

 It’s also covered in the whitepaper.

 Would be a silly move to be honest, the only benefit would be to get free Bitcoin, but then you drop the value of it in the process so no one wants it 🤣

 If you are running a cbdc and WANT to destroy Bitcoin 

Obviously I don't believe this is possible otherwise I wouldn't dedicate my life and all my money to Bitcoin, but I try to be open to anything

 Fair comment, if you want to just do it.

Agree too, can’t see Bitcoin going anywhere any time soon.

BTC in cold (never touch)
MSTR in IRA - 🚀🚀
