Scientists achieve quantum teleportation breakthrough that could prove Einstein wrong.
Quantum Teleportation has the potential to bring about a more secure mechanism of data storage when applied to technologies
Rather than a series of bits labeled in 1s and 0s
This may be a key step into Quantum communications with accurate teleportation of quantum information a key step towards building quantum networks exponentially more powerful and secure than today’s supercomputers.
While regular computers store information in bits (signals which exist as only a 0 or a 1) quantum computing uses ‘qubits’ which can hold multiple values at the same time. Getting these bits to communicate with one another as the physicists at Delft say they have could then be key to making an unhackable network of quantum computers.
"The main application of quantum teleportation is a quantum version of the internet, extending a global network that we can use to send quantum information," said Professor Hanson.
"What you're doing is using entanglement as your communication channel. The information is teleported to the other side, and there's no way anyone can intercept that information."
Einstein himself doubted the existence of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon in which particles located as far away as opposite sides of the universe remain inextricably linked. Whatever happens to one particle instantaneously happens to the other like a quantum-powered Voodoo doll.
So is teleportation the evolved future of Bitcoin and its related technologies or is that a question that only time can tell.

This gives some indication of the staggering speeds at which even the most basic elements of a quantum computer function.
Coincidence
Edit: Agree with the comments in the thread Einstein didn't say it was impossible just highly unlikely
