Replying to Avatar Pablo Xannybar

In case anyone is in doubt: it's possible quantum computing could break common cryptographic cyphers in the future, but it's still entirely hypothetical.

Anyone telling you there's an immanent threat to Bitcoin because of this theoretical vaporware is either uninformed or deliberately spreading FUD.

Was wondering about this. Heard Google hit quantum supremacy, but I have no idea what that means and was wondering if that could affect the price of bitcoin

Current quantum computing is very primitive and highly experimental.

It is a good thing to use modern cryptographic curves that are objectively harder to break (e.g. Curve25519 over RSA) but this idea quantum computers could destroy Bitcoin any minute is total bullshit.
