Breaking Bitcoin encryption
A thought experiment - year 2023, you are the most powerful entity on Earth, which controls all the supercomputers and cloud servers in existence.
Your goal - break into one Bitcoin wallet.
Furthermore, you might possess quantum and regular computing devices several orders of magnitude more powerful than the top "mainstream" devices.
Just how advanced these devices should be and how much computing power should you wield to break Bitcoin encryption in a reasonable timeframe (up to one year, let's say)?
