*"Somewhat ironically, elliptic curve crypto [the type that bitcoin uses]
is likely to fall to quantum computers a bit before RSA and Diffie-Hellman
will fall, because ECC’s “better security” (against classical attacks, that
is) led people to use 256-bit keys rather than 2,048-bit keys, and Shor’s
algorithm mostly just cares about the key size."*
