I'm more concerned that so many people have been looking for some kind of weakness in BTC for so many years and it always ends up on quantum computers that at this point don't have even 1% of the power needed to do something like smash BTC into pieces.



Bitcoin will definitely be a serious target.
The US states and big companies like Tesla, MSTR, and El Salvador have large bitcoin reserved. They would care deeply if quantum attacks becomes a threat. Imagine national reserves being stolen what will happen to the nations economy. If billions in Bitcoin is lost due to quantum theft, it will reduce the trust in digital assets globally.


Why don't you write how much BTC they have and which US states - and how much does the Mr. Mars company and El Salvador have? Roughly speaking, it seems to me that they have a maximum of 20 000 BTC together (El Salvador has a little over 6000). I think you're worrying about completely unrealistic and pointless things - but if you have nothing else to worry about, that's your choice Wink



The meme about quantum computers having the ability to break bitcoin has been a meme for as long as quantum computers have existed. And it is overhyped.

But nobody seems to talk about how the quantum computers that we have are glorified gimmicks that may have reached a dead end.

Superpositions cannot exist beyond a certain scale as by the uncertainty principle, which is not just an engineering issue but a physical law.

Quantum computing researchers are hoping to discover new laws that favor a workaround for quantum computing. That is their biggest gamble.

I see no danger to Bitcoin anytime soon.
