From Grok (good suggestion David)
Threat to Cryptography: Bitcoin relies on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) for securing private keys and transactions. Quantum computers, if sufficiently advanced, could use Shor's algorithm to efficiently solve the discrete logarithm problem, potentially compromising private keys from public keys. This could allow attackers to steal funds or forge transactions.
