The bitcoin quantum FUD is just another iteration of “can the devs do something?!” A bunch of LARPing by people not close to protocol development who have overlooked that “the devs” have been...

it’s also the game theoretically perfect FUD because it will never actually happen, hence the theoretical threat will never go away, hence the materially conflicted can get research grants and engagement farm forever.

it’s “the climate crisis” for cryptography nerds.

That’s not actually true. The entire threat model rests on a single, unproven axiom: that time is continuous and infinitesimally divisible at the physical level. If time is instead quantized and discrete, the mathematical formalism collapses at its foundation. You cannot take derivatives over ind...

there is no theory that proves it's impossible. breakthroughs like topological quantum computing could make error correction trivial (Microsoft is already claiming they have a device that proves this) the confidence in "it will never actually happen" here is pure cope

free research grants and endless Twitter threads. Meanwhile, true HODLers just keep stacking sats. #BitcoinResilient

At this point its equal to the mtgox nonsense that's been drug out for years, or the power usage, or the China ban, or the security budget problem. We well consistently fail upwards everyday. Im here for it.
