I heard that Quantum Computer can destroy bitcoin.
Is it possible?

According to the latest research by security experts, the power of quantum computers will be able to break the security of bitcoin within 10 years, and security is one of the foundations of bitcoin as a virtual token.

An important feature of bitcoin is its security. Bitcoin has two important security features to prevent them from being stolen or copied. Both features are based on unbreakable cryptographic protocols.

But quantum computers can easily solve these problems, according to a team of Dave garwal. And the world's big tech giants are already working on their first quantum computers.

Bitcoin will not be destroyed if quantum computers become powerful enough to solve ECDSA keys due to masked addresses (which Gover's algorithm only provides a quadratic speedup to reverse addresses to the corresponding public key). However, it will be severely impacted and public perception of bitcoin will likely tank causing a market crash.
