it’s a psyop

Total FUD, nothing serious or to be concerned about in the near term but it’s all over X

Someone was saying that if or when quantum computing poses a risk to Bitcoin that Bitcoin would be the least of our worries because it would pose the same risk to all forms of encryption and the entire financial system anyway. I recommend starting a garden, that's the best way to prepare in case t...

No, way, the devs are too busy turning Bitcoin into BSV.

tbh didn’t even know quantum FUDing was a thing rn

this were an urgent existential threat, it wouldn’t be discovered on Twitter in 2025.

Now I'm really worried. Not about quantum, but about what "the devs" are planning.

Aliens are more of a threat to Bitcoin than QC

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.

It's no different from the BTC is boiling the oceans fud, and the kinda thing that the Greta Thurnberg minded in our midst jump on like it's the next "carbon crisis"

There a lot of self-interest going on. - The academics use PQC FUD for more research grants. - The vendors use PQC FUD to sow panic and uncertainty (just buy my stuff and you’ll be ok). - Governments use PQC FUD force compliance (to deal with us, use our PQC algorithms that have backdoors you...

The problem isn’t the devs the problem is the social consensus.
