El Salvador relocates Bitcoin reserve into multiple wallets to reduce exposure to quantum attacks

lol it’s so funny how much the seriousness of this issue is misunderstood by most people. No quantum computers do not currently pose a threat to encryption, or really anything for that matter. The current state of this technology is such that it would have to progress many orders of magnitude before it could even get close to doing anything meaningful and at the current rate of progression that is decades away if ever. I have several family members who have phds in physics and one that does research related to QC. They all just laugh anytime they see headlines about it because it’s always sensationalized beyond meaning. Non of them think this technology will come to fruition anytime soon if ever. Theres some very difficult fundamental problems that stand between what is theoretically possible and the engineering required to achieve that.
