It's not even close lol why the panic. Did wall street read one of those clickbaity quantum computing research breakthroughs
In trading, gotta react early to stuff everyone else will react to later
I won't though, I'll just keep my Bitcoin until it's worthless lol

Guessing how close or far we are from any given computing breakthrough is bound to be wrong.
I wouldn't be shocked if some governments were pouring money into this in secret.
Do you want to be the one holding the bag in 20 years?
It's also possible for bitcoin to switch algorithms so it would presumably switch to something quantum resistant.
There are already chat clients that have switched to these types of algorithms, Signal and Apple messages being the most popular ones.
The quantum grift is very similar to the "AI" grift.
Well, there's grifters in both camps, but the quantum computing potential was scientifically proven with Shor's algorithm decades ago, while nobody knows if AI will go anywhere from here.
So also fundamentally dissimilar.
