Ehm... "Shor and his algorithm" )))
I'll try to answer in a few words.
Good news - Shor's algorithm had been discovered a long time before first cryptocurrencies appeared. But they are still alive :-)
Bad news - as you can read in the article to which you refer - quantum computing is developing at a high pace, so, it is not so much time until full-fledged quantum computer will be developed.

Recently, there was a topic here  that Bitcoin wouldn't live up to 2027. Of course, we are sick and tired of these trash forecasts. However, Bitcoin has been alive for 10 years :-))) 

But it's not just about Bitcoin. I read here  ( https://dapcash.org/shors-algorithm-against-the-blockchain/ ) about a “Shor's algorithm” - as if it can crack cryptography which is used in blockchains. Are there specialists in cryptography and algorithms who can say something intelligible about this? How do you feel about this Shor and his algorithm?..
