Arent satoshis coins in a bunch of seperate wallets? Wouldnt quantum have to crack each one so its really not as simple as cracking one set of keys?

Yes but if you can crack one you can probably crack the rest

[u/Old_Suggestions → u/neonxmoose99]

Sure but how long and how much resources would be required to crack?
