I'm smelling a lot of "if" coming off this article.
If someone has proven the hypothesis, then If someone uses that understanding to exploit the general principles of encryption, then If no one finds a way to prevent that exploit, then If someone actually uses it to attack Bitcoin...
Then we would have a problem. And so would every government, military, bank, business and individual in the developed world, for that matter. Because everything relies on encryption these days. But let's take it one step at a time. If we should be concerned by this, then it's a pretty small concern for the moment.
