alt Hacker NewsSo when does this break crypto and Bitcoin and how to best prepare for this?
Is there any way to secure at all?

Cryptocoins like Bitcoin only need DSA. Quantum-proof DSAs have been widely known since the 1970s*. Bitcoin only needs to change its DSA - and then everything will be fine.

Great question are people predicting we will have enough computing power to "break" bitcoin? How much is needed?

They can break 1-bit-coin. How's that for ya?
If you can break bitcoin, you can also break all the encryption we use for banking and other transactions, so might as well stock up on SPAM and ammo.
