Google's new quantum chip, Willow, has sparked concerns about its potential to threaten Bitcoin's encryption. However, experts like Bitcoin entrepreneur Ben Sigman assure that Willow, with its 105 qubits, is far from capable of breaking Bitcoin's encryption, which would require a quantum computer with millions of qubits. Despite advancements in quantum computing, there is currently no practical threat to Bitcoin, though discussions about post-quantum cryptography are encouraged.
