Re: "Bitcoin is safe for now."

I disagree.

The value of individual BTCs is now so high - almost $90,000 as I write this - that speculative criminal investments in computer software and hardware become more likely every year.

A crude $1 million quantum computer with only one function - searching for BTC - can break even after finding just 11 Coins.

I'm not saying quantum computing won't happen, just nobody knows if it will happen, and we're still a long way from there.
