Dear Artem, thank you for your interest. I believe that we should think and understand the severity of quantum computers as for centralized and decentralized systems. On the wrong hands, it can be similar to the nuclear bomb in the digital world. The government may use this power to shut down weak systems as well. I have chosen xx network because they understand the problem and implemented protection mechanisms.
What is your opinion for this case?
