In 10 years from now a quantum computer will have sufficient computation power to give a 51% attack on the bitcoin network.

Please discuss.

Lol!! Quantum computing is still under development and we don't yet have a realistic timeline! What we all are doing is speculation. Intel has just created a superconducting chip for such computing and it is still being tested. If quantum computer becomes a reality, will probably cost few millions and the usage will be restricted for governmental and research related use.

Hackers won't have access to it just to launch 51% attack of crypto networks! Chill and take out such ideas from your mind!

People do really love to go ahead of time which ive been seeing these several topics and discussion about quantum computer.We might reach those era but it would really
be still so soon to see this upgrade.It can possible affect crypto yet we know on how quantum computing does but pretty sure there would be such changes later on.
Its impossible for cryptospace not to be quantum immune one.
