 A multi million dollar machine set to get bitcoins doesn't make a lot of sense.

First, how about read the actual original article instead of someone's interpretation of it: http://www.nature.com/news/google-and-nasa-snap-up-quantum-computer-1.12999

Second, the article notes that any problem designed for this computer can still be done faster on existing classical computing resources.

Third, quantum has been discussed quite a bit on here before. I'll leave OP to search, but IIRC, bitcoin is quantum-resistant in that if practical and powerful quantum computers existed, the bit-space for the crypto problems bitcoin uses would be reduced, but would still be huge.

Try actually reading this article.

My eyes glazed over 1/3 of the way through from all the FUD.

Author has a wild imagination.
I do agree that at some point, the author did become a bit delusional and started writing FUD.
