Quantum computing shows promise in a wide variety of fields, from biology to physics. One of the areas where it promises to have the biggest advantage is in code-breaking, or solving encryption algorithms. Unfortunately for any cryptocurrency enthusiasts out there, this means that crypto’s risk of losing all of its value goes up as quantum computing tech improves. I used to think this is a far-fetched worry (and not my problem anyway) but I have recently changed my mind.
