In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems? Quantum tech could decrypt existing secure protocol and dramatically decrease time of brute-force attack on syphers. If system is cetralized, compromising a central node will mean fall of all system.
