With the steps forward that quantum computing is making will it mean the end of crypto as we know it once quantum computing become a reality?
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.
Do you think we will see new quantum cryptos released once the technology is ready? Or do you think Bitcoin will adopt a new layer of quantum security if that is even possible?
I'm by no means an expert on the subject but unless the good guys get their hands on some form of quantum computer before the bad guys it kind of puts a ticking timer on the whole crypto industry. That's if an extra layer of quantum encryption can even be implemented in some way for Bitcoin.
If not, then I guess we better time it just right and get the f**k outta here at the right time.
Thoughts?
All crypto without quantum resistance will be rendered obsolete, if it isn't already. The US had stealth fighters years before it was public if that is taken into consideration then one can assume crypto is already vulnerable to quantum computing.
