Bitcoin and quantum computer fud

[bbc.reporter]

In any case, we are not experts on quantum computers. We can only follow the news updates.

I'm not gonna claim on being an expert part of your statement,  However AFAIK, BTC and that other coin both are equally at risk IF a magical QC suddenly surfaces.


About the concerns around the provided time table examples I must add;  when @satoshi starts moving his coins to Q-R wallets, it would only take less than 6 month for the whole crypto community to follow him. 

Remember, any system needs leader/s, without one they would just collapse. @satoshi is just a bit shy, that's all.

Yes, however, you also have mentioned the word magically as if also magically Satoshi will return hehehe. This is very headshaking because people who are being an Elmer Fud on quantum computers are also depending on something magically for their arrival. They might also be praying for this to happen and very much wish to see this magically.

It appears that this article is creating another type of fud that is based on the assumption that a quantum computer that will destroy the cryptospace will be created soon. This is headshaking to write this article with this as the author's big assumption.

The author is motivated by selfish motives (salary) by hyping up the quantum threats to cryptocurrencies and manipulating the fears of bicoiners.

This is yet another battle (which they've won, if we're discussing it here) between the media and our attention, which they monetize.

In any case, we are not experts on quantum computers. We can only follow the news updates. I will share more news updates on this developing storyline.

Thanks, but we don't need updates. If quantum computing makes a difference, we'll probably know about it right away. But for now, if that moment hasn't arrived yet (and what if the threat is exaggerated?), why panic ahead of time?
