Discussion Post on PQC - Quantum Vulnerabilities of Blockchains

@Harvesto, that was a nice piece there.

My own little contribution is that, if quantum computing develops more quickly than efforts to future-proof digital money, the blockchain accounting system that underpins cryptocurrencies may be subject to more complex attacks and faked transactions.

But, the good news is that In an effort to stay ahead of the Blockchain vulnerability issues, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the US government has been carefully searching for quantum-proof cryptographic algorithms for several years, enlisting the help of researchers from all over the world.In fact, some blockchain and cryptocurrency projects are actively developing quantum resistant software to address these blockchain vulnerabilities.
