Hey great article! I love quantum computing and the amount of funding behind quantum computing has exploded the last few years.
However, wouldn't quantum computing based cyber attacks pose a much greater threat to everything else before cryptocurrency? I mean just think... how much damage can a team of hackers with a quantum computer do to the stock exchanges of the world? To the Department of Defense? To all Global Banks and Financial institutions? Governments, National Reserves, Military Installations and anything else connected to the internet in some way are much more vulnerable than blockchains.
Cryptocurrency is the most protected market in the world and I think we should all be more concerned about the possibility of just about everything else getting hacked first...
Regardless, thanks for the awesome breakdown. Your information is spot on and it looks like you spent a lot of time working on this. Well done. Followed!
Great catch. Therefore, I have already said that "it will have unimaginable adverse effects throughout the military, financial and administrative security sectors." Surely, the impact of quantum computers on cryptocurrency market may not be more significant. But I want to answer to the question "Can Quantum Computers Kill Blockchain?" and deliver this particular topic in a general way. Thanks for reading and following!
