Can a quantum computer "hack" bitcoin?

[lightbulb27]

How much power would it take to hack bitcoin?

There are quantum computers online for a fee. if the payoff is big enough, someone could try to hack bitcoin. It's obvious the government can, so I would think... it's possible.

Quantum computers are a new generation of computers that are many times faster than traditional super computers.

Secondly, where do people go to get education/degrees in quantum computing?

Yes it can

No, it would take too much cost and $

What is this... no idea

VERY INTERESTING QUESTIONS!..

Just Like How a QUBIT is YES & NO at the Same time..

Quantum Computers Hacking BITCOIN Is also Yes and No!..

In Normal Physical Sense No, Quantum Computer cannot hack Bitcoin in Normal Sense of Calculation..

However , The Way a Quantum Computer works is by Freezing the QUBIT to ABSOLUTE ZERO..

Now, that right there is a Problem, in our Universe there is no Such temperature as Absolute Zero!..

The reason for No Place in the Universe having Absolute Zero is Because Fabric of Space - Time cannot Exist at Absolute Zero..

So when your Push a MicroChip to freeze to Absolute Zero you are Rupturing the Fabric of Space-Time and connecting all the MULTI-VERSES Version of that Micro Chip in One computer..

And Since We already Know there are Infinite Number Of Multi-verse.. you are Connecting Infinite Quantum Computers.. Which in Theory should be capable of Hacking Bitcoin..

But hacking Bitcoin is a sense needs to be made Clear, are you hacking a wallet? are you hacking the Genesis block? Are you performing double spending? Depending on difficulty , It will still take time..

But if you do that you will not just be Hacking BITCOINS you will be altering the Timeline by Altering the Blockchain of Past!.. Basically Throwing yourself out into a Timeline where you experience riches and a version of your will still exist who is poor in Poor Timeline..

However Right now Quantum Computers are operating JUST ABOVE ABSOLUTE ZERO.. They have not Reached Absolute Zero.. which is Practically Impossible.. until and unless you Manufacture a Quantum Computer Using DARK MATTER Which is a Whole other page, and Human race is minimum of 200 years If not 500 Years away from that!

Nope, as that is not how crypto works.

Just like electric cars use a totally different infrastructure from standard fuel cars, so it is with quantum vs digital silicon. Bitcoin and other crypto are 99.9% on silicon based systems. Quantum for mining is still a theory.

From what I have read, it seems quantum computers have the potential to compromise the security of the blockchain.
