This comment makes me feel like people talking like this will make “quantum” into the new crypto and grift a whole new generation of people. The cycle continues.

You're a genius. Quantum Blockchain that lets you bid on an NFT lootbox being in a particular superposition. Based on the probability, the price will be higher or lower. And immutable. Or something.
This is my first time ever coming across the phrase "quantum blockchain", even if it's a joke.

But I'm suddenly terrified it won't be my last...

Terry Pratchett was ahead of the curve on this one:

> 'And then there’s quantum, of course.’ The monk sighed. ‘There’s always bloody quantum.'

My new blockchain is protected by Quantum Artificial Intelligence™. Click here to buy my NFTs.
Don't joke about it. I actually think that I've seen this claim somewhere.
I have heard a lot of people talk about how this is going to solve np hard problems, but when I asked a cs PhD about it they were a lot more pessimistic.
