This is just a random news I get but people are really talking about it.
I have just read about it not long ago but I have also read somewhere before that by 2030, it is possible that ECDSA becomes vulnerable to quantum computing. This is 2025 which means 20230 is just 5 years away from now.
I've seen many discussions and news like this both outside and on the forum infact it got me thinking if this could actually be a scheme to cause FOMO and affect price because of scared investors.
Now on a very practical and realistic basis, Quantum computing is just at its beginning and isn't even fully applicable yet. What you see and hear is just theoretical speculations of what it could do in the future it it can eventually be fully harnessed just like we use regular micro computing.

Fine in could in the future but trust me bitcoin developers aren't asleep and since bitcoin is open source flaws in ECDSA that quantum computing would break will be fixed even before that happens.
