Tl;dr quantum computing is more of an arms race than an exploit. The greater quantum attacks become, the greater cyber defenses become in response. The traditional financial system is at far greater risk of critical failure than the Bitcoin timechain.

I remember someone once hypothesized that #Bitcoin might be created as an early warning system to detect if quantum computing is created, as a big honeypot up for grabs.

Not saying I believe this at all, but as has been said many times it’s mostly talk and FUD until someone actually attacks Bitcoin and proves it’s possible.

Interesting.

Apparently the cryptographic protection on Satoshi’s wallet is some of the easiest to crack, as it has improved since then. That would be the wallet to watch.
