Claims that Quantum Computing will destroy Bitcoin may be exaggerated, but Bitcoin will need to adapt.

This article is fluff.

Yes. Quantum computers that can break the asymmetric crypto kill Bitcoin dead. The only fix at this point is a hardfork where all the old keys are invalidated which is tantamount to an exchange for another coin.

BTC has failed to adopt every obvious meaningful improvement at every turn. From not increasing memory size to not allowing variable block sizes to not encryping addresses nor amounts ( why even call it "crypto" )...

BTC is the 1.0 that people like for no good reason. It's not private, it's slow, expensive to use... fuck Bitcoin
