The digital divide died, Jimbo. Like your brain.

The digital divide made famous by rotten creeps like Al Bore and the Grauniad was a tedious moralizing campaign pointing out computers were expensive and elitist which was valid for a few years in the late 90's as the internet grew in importance. 
The bursting of the first net bubble put paid to most of it, but it regrouped and soldiered on for a couple more years before stupid Americans were finally outnumbered by Normies around 2005.
The quantum divide crusade, just getting up a head of steam through idiots like Gym Dumbell, posits a similar scenario. But it has even more problems than the first because now we all know the net is important the pressure to update is relentless. Fall behind and you digitally die.
This will apply to quantum key exchange which is very expensive hence elitist at the moment.
So that whole stage will thus be condensed and telescoped before any big fat buffoon can draw his big fat blowholes breath.  QKE won't be cracked by any decade old computer or even the latest quantum super-computers. And QKE will become ubiquitous so fast its price will fall dramatically.
The result is inevitable cryptoanarchy much faster than any James-Bond-Villain scenario fantasized by a well-known moron chemist from MIT. Enough with the FUD dumb-dumb.
You suck - go die.
