Anyone who is not heartily sick of the words ‘blockchain’, ‘crypto’, and ‘NFT’ (and, indeed, mentions of quantum computing in these pages) may be interested to hear that, in a few years’ time, the whole thing might go away.
It’ll probably be replaced by something worse, of course, but the argument over the subject is interesting. Could a sufficiently powerful quantum computer, one that’s not been invented as yet, bring the whole blockchain network down around our ankles?
It’s easy, and often fun, to attribute remarkable powers to inventions of the future. Imagining VR that links itself directly to your visual cortex
