Can you thought for at least a moment, if a quantum computer attack BTC, a same kind of quantum computer can be at BTC side, protecting?
There are 2 sides always, people "forget" to mention that the code of BTC will evolve and there's a huge community interested in protecting BTC

I very much doubt that quantum computers will appear in 10 years, so it's too early to think about it
In 10 years from now a quantum computer will have sufficient computation power to give a 51% attack on the bitcoin network.

Lol!! Quantum computing is still under development and we don't yet have a realistic timeline! What we all are doing is speculation. Intel has just created a superconducting chip for such computing and it is still being tested. If quantum computer becomes a reality, will probably cost few millions and the usage will be restricted for governmental and research related use.
Hackers won't have access to it just to launch 51% attack of crypto networks! Chill and take out such ideas from your mind!
So you think quantum technology power will increase but crypto and it's security level will be same.you might rght if only we are talking about bitcoin only

no, you first discuss why you think in 10 years a system (quantum computer) that is not capable of producing hashrate and is not even designed for that is going to be able to suddenly produce such an unbelievably huge hashing power that could attack bitcoin!

In 10 years Bitcoin+blockchain:
1.Won't exist.
2.Will improve to a level,in which quantum computers won't be a threat,they could even help.
Let's hope that the second option will happen.
This topic has been discussed 100 times before,so it's pointless to ask the same questions again and again.
Quantum computing has been discussed to death on this forum and each discussion is the same. The Bitcoin encryption can be "upgraded" to make it even impossible for quantum computers to find the Private key, so this is a non-issue. Yes, people who would not be able to transfer their coins to the new "upgraded" addresses, might suffer some losses, but the others will be safe.
There will be advance warnings before this happens and the developers already worked on solutions for this kind of scenario.

Well, technical progress does not stand still and this is quite normal. Specialists have a full ten years to solve this problem. Undoubtedly, there will always be a way out, but from such power of quantum computers there will also be a benefit: it will be possible to recover lost keys from bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. Please discuss.
Now that's the kind of system I want to play Halo on.
