This topic has got me thinking.

We all know that Quantum Computing could significantly improve the power of computers. Imagine that you are using this technology to have multiple nodes/computers. Then having those various computers, maybe roughly the amount of "enough users" to accept a new software that probably coded a bug or an exploit. Would we ever arrive at the part where Bitcoin has already formed to the right software where it could prevent this type of attack? Could bitcoin also recover? I think if this is successful, more trust would be broken not just with Bitcoin, but with Cryptocurrencies in general. It is knowing that there are a lot of people who don't understand this type of subject matter.

Anyway, why believe that Quantum Computing will end Bitcoin? Why not help it?
