Why are Shor and Grovers Algorithm not a concern?
Many people are investing in Bitcoin with the belief that "in the future, everyone is going to use it." However, there are concerns about the potential impact of quantum computing on Bitcoin's security. Supercomputers capable of executing Shor's and Grover's algorithms, which could theoretically break Bitcoin's cryptographic foundations, might be just 10 years away. In fact, some believe that existing computers could already have the necessary processing power to pose a threat, though this is still a topic of debate.
