If someone had quantum computing power, they wouldn’t attack Bitcoin.
They’d quietly drain banks, move into Bitcoin, and disappear.
Bitcoin isn’t the target… it’s the exit.
Bitcoin is pseudonymous, transparent, monitored & upgradeable.

It's regularly said that we're still early. To the degree that that's true, doesn't that imply that an attacker likely wouldn't see Bitcoin as an off-ramp? And even if the first attacker does, what if the 2nd, 3rd, ... Nth attacker doesn't?
Quietly and quantum isn’t a match.
Bad take.
Banks can upgrade in minutes. It's very hard to take money out. There are several ways to reverse the transaction. Plus breaking encryption with quantum is not enough to hack banks, you still need user credentials.
This will almost certainly not happen.
