RE: Cryptocurrencies CANNOT be trusted. Here's why...
In this case, why should the banking system and the internet be trusted?
Quantum computing will not be restricted just to attacking cryptocurrencies.
anything that relies on "conventional" infrastructure will be insecure. Yes, banking and most of the internet too. But I ended the post with an optimistic view, that researchers will find a way to preserve stability.
But the transition period will be a bit unsettling, that's for sure.
Then why present it as an exclusive threat to cryptocurrencies?
Alternatives may not be safer.
no no no. I did not imply that it is only a threat to cryptocurrencies. But because of the recent stratospheric rise of cryptocurrency valuations -not to mention the fact that this social platform has one too- I considered it relevant to remind readers that we are about to witness a disruption, one for which they should be prepared for. Or at the very least be knowledgeable.
