What if a key piece of cryptography underpinning bitcoin fell apart?

That might sound like science fiction (or even FUD - fear, uncertainty and doubt) to many a cryptocurrency enthusiast, yet hardly a day goes by without some breakthrough in the field of quantum computing hitting the wires.

And while the technology will have many beneficial effects on humankind, for cryptocurrency holders, the technology could spell devastation.

This is good when developers care about the future security of bitcoin but it seems to me that now there are more relevant topics. They can't solve a issue with the transaction. All conditions must be created for bitcoin to be used as a currency. Without this, it may not be necessary to do the rest because bitcoin will cease to exist before a quantum computer appears.
