Though quantum computing can technically break ECDSA with enough qubits, this has not the greatest implication on btc because public keys are not known as they are protected by the hashing used to create an address.

However, I've noticed online it's been said a few times that reusing addresses may reveal your public key?

Is this true? Are there methods by whichtimes your public key is revealed and quantum computers become a legitimate threat?
