Why did Google focus its quantum paper on blockchains when so many systems are vulnerable?

Alex Pruden from Project Eleven addresses the myth that quantum is equally dangerous to all systems. Centralized companies can rewrite their ledgers. Nuclear launch codes aren’t public. Bitcoin addresses are.

With 6.7 million BTC ($450 billion) in vulnerable addresses and the rest of tech already moving to post-quantum cryptography, crypto has the most to lose and the least time to act.
