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.

I completely understand what you are saying.

I am saying that a commercially viable quantum computer is completely unnecessary.

I am saying that a one task computer program on a system that runs at near quantum speed is all you need to make a huge amount of money stealing BTC, or unlocking lost BTC, or discovering pristine BTC.

I would wager that there are dozens of individuals and groups that are trying to build devices like that right now.
