    Yeah this is 99.999% a scam.

    When you say you have money “locked” in bitcoin,

    do you mean you’ve lost the private key/seed phrase to access your wallet?

    or did you just get scammed from the start on some dodgy investment site?

    very common for these guys to show fake profits and then demand more payments to unlock funds or pay tax or whatever. Of course there never was any profit from the start 
    Or they pass it onto a "third party" (which is actually the same people) who contacts the person scammed claiming they can magically get the "investment" back. For a fee, of course.

    But @catchatheif has not logged back in since the comment was made so we'll probably not find out.

    Although 105 qubits represents a large step forward, breaking bitcoin's encryption would require anywhere from 1536 to 2338 qubits. Nonetheless, quantum computing is a threat to bitcoin that must be taken seriously, and bitcoin's protocol will need be updated sooner than later.
