This quantum machine affair makes no sense!
The term quantum machine was mentioned since 1984 by a mathematician named Shor claiming to have found an algorithm capable of breaking a cryptographic system!
And why are many panicking today ❓
Several believe that if the algorithm can break the cryptographic system, it then has the ability to determine a private key from a public key.
The question I ask myself now is why is it only the $BTC that is being pointed out ❓
Since if this machine can do that, it could paralyze the entire crypto ecosystem, not just Bitcoin 🤷.
It also seems that this machine is equipped with an algorithm called Grover which has the potential to mine blocks more quickly and thus reward the miner in terms of time and energy.
What you need to know here is that once the BTC Blockchain, since it is the one concerned, realizes that the average mining duration, which is 10 minutes if I'm not mistaken, becomes shorter, it will automatically increase the mining difficulty, which will negate the effects of the Grover algorithm.
Likewise, I even think that if the Grover algorithm allows for mining blocks much more quickly, the energy consumption will also be high!
