This chart is nice, but you need to include the difficulty of the algorithm (difficulty to attack), the size of the blockchain (hard for anyone except rich people to participate if you need a server farm just to verify a transaction), devel

If that happens you're worried about Bitcoin? lol Besides, the algorithm in question here is Shor's algorithm, it WILL be used to break some basic encryption. If Satoshi is dead, his coins will be hacked (they are old P2PK outputs
