Had a great conversation with a normie who understood #bitcoin very well. The only thing he was scared about is that when quantum computing hits, it might destroy the concept of hashing and securing it.

I don’t know enough about quantum computing but would like to continue this conversation soon. Could it be an actual threat? Any research or articles that cover this potential threat including that I can share about that? I feel he was nearly there, but this really held him back. He is very technical and knows his stuff.

Symmetrical cryptography seems unaffected, but asymetrical cryptography looks like it does. So the public key private Key cryptography will be broken, the one from which you sign your transactions. Idk how they are gonna solve that. But there probably are solutions to this.
