View submission: Don't invest recklessly
I was just envisioning this scenario the other day. It would feel like futuristic ship wreck hunters, using quantum computers to dig up once lost coins. Could be an interesting point whenever quantum computers become relatively accessible.

quantum
Yeah, realistically it is just going to be the NSA that gets the first usable quantum computers and they'll get the lost coins. Then they'll either spend them on their own schemes or they'll use them to mess with the market if they ever want to attack Bitcoin.

The minute quantum computing becomes feasible, all of bitcoin goes down (as well as traditional online banking etc.).
