What does the uber-powerful Quantum supercomputer mean for bitcoin and crypto security?

Google’s new quantum computing chip could mean bitcoin (BTC) is finished. That was the sentiment for some on Monday as the internet giant unveiled Willow, a quantum supercomputer that can perform certain computational tasks in just five minutes that would take classical supercomputers an astronomical amount of time—specifically, 10 septillion years (or one followed by 24 zeroes; a trillion trillion).
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Should I sell or not?
Say it ain't so, Joe!!

That's all we need. Quantum supercomputers with AI.
Humans extinct within a year?

We’ll be their slaves. Or maybe they’ll use us like batteries to generate electricity.

Not sure about crypto but definitely seems bad for password encryption across the board. Have been dreading their impending breakthroughs.

Quantum resistant algorithms are a thing and will be used increasingly in the future for everything including online security for banking etc. and Crypto.

Turn off the electricity and AI becomes harmless

Except for when they control the power grid and cut off all humans from electricity, the internet, cell phones, TVs, and our computers.

Have you seen what happens when humans have no electricity?

Survival of the fittest, it will be ok. Clean out the bad genetics and kill AI, seems like a win-win.

Brush up on your bushcraft skills and stay out of their way. If they don't perceive us as a threat, they might leave us alone. Or not. But at least you can have some fun camping before the Skynet kill drones are activated.

At that point they would have figured out how to harness their energy from electrons in the air

I remember when I was young, grew up in church and always considering the “mark of the beast”, and what it meant for life. I remember clearly, the lie I suppose I comforted myself with is that we would never have the worldwide technology capabilities to force that type of financial ultimatum onto the whole world.
Well, that was a lie, indeed.

Brush up on how Quantum Computing and Qbits work. Not to mention, they have to run in sub zero temperatures.
That article title is click bait. There is QRL blockchains already and Bitcoin can adapt when necessary. To say Bitcoin is “finished” is gay as frick.

Once quantum computing is truly achieved, AI will become unmanageable. At that point, AI will control anything and everything that is connected to the internet.

Do you want to explain how they would?

The same chip will be used to secure crypto transactions

Google quantum resistant algorithms and post-quantum cryptography.

If that happens I wonder if ai will essentially be at war with itself. Like ai programs/robots will want to be the leader and who decides what to do? I can see in fighting happening

Thank You.
Are you saying it comes down to what has "the fastest chip in the west"?
