Haha oh the inevitable quantum FUD… haven’t heard this before.And your meme is living on borrowed time. If China achieves quantum computing first, your investment will be worth zero overnight.
If… only if Bitcoin were an open source platform that can be updated to handle quantum computing… oh yeah that’s right… it is. And Quantum computing is a long way off from accomplishing the levels needed to break Bitcoin’s encryption according to quantum computer experts with far more expertise on the subject than you or I.(see here for example: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.10377)
And even if it was very close, they very likely wouldn’t use it to crack Bitcoin. It would make no sense.
There would be far more damaging strategic attack vectors to use Quantum computing on besides Bitcoin. Because the minute they use it, the cats out of the bag. Updates and encryption algorithms get changed within hours and it’s back to the drawing board again.
