I mean it effectivly makes encryption useless, someone with a quantum computer could just brute force a private key from a public key in no time. This will kill every crypto currently out there.


This isn't correct. It will make Public Key Encryption (as we know it today) useless, but it doesn't break encryption writlarge. Crypto will have to adapt, but it will...just a matter of time
