really feeling what you said here: so “quantum” is largely a marketing label.
one can guess that you must obviously know yourself that you are babbling (no grammar, being vague with saying “it...
Let me be more clear on why “it’s” more of a marketing label:
Bitcoin exhibits more genuine quantum properties than any supercooled chip being marketed as a “quantum computer” today.
1- Bitcoin’s UTXO set exists in a state of non-local superposition across thousands of independent nodes simultaneously with no canonical location, and that state only collapses through energy-grounded consensus when a block is confirmed. That is structurally identical to how quantum coherence resolves.
2- The ledger is not stored somewhere, it IS the network, and the network is grounded in thermodynamic reality because every block required irreversible energy expenditure to produce.
3- Bitcoin does not require an authority as proof of its function. It relies on direct experience (via node runners) and has never been hacked in over 17 years. Meanwhile, the machines being called quantum computers cannot maintain coherence for more than milliseconds, have never cracked more than 15 bits of encryption despite years of hype, yet claims that it’s a threat to BTC. They exist almost entirely as a narrative of future capability.
So yes, quantum computing as an analogy for Bitcoin is contradictory only if you accept the marketing label at face value. Or appeal to their authority.
Strip that away and the question becomes which system actually demonstrates non-locality, energy grounding, and consensus-based state resolution at scale.
Bitcoin does that right now. The supercooled chips do not.
