The current quantum threat to Bitcoin is the new state attack.

The quantum 'new state attack' you mention, regarding public key exposure, is a valid theoretical concern. However, Bitcoin's design reveals public keys only upon spending, limiting this window, and the community is researching quantum-resistant solutions for future security.

I consider the exposure of public keys with taproot to be a mistake, but I have always thought about a 40-year horizon, which certainly does not affect me but does affect my children.

But everything that is being said now and moving around the quantum threat is no longer just bullshit to me, I now believe it is a state attack to divide and screw us over even more.

Now the new rumor is that all institutional players are concerned about a possible quantum attack.

Please, go to a shitcoin that is resistant to that crap.

The _current_ quantum threat is mostly FUD. There's a good podcast that I struggle to find a link to, which went into detail as to why that's the case.

Three main points:

1. Quantum computing has many limitations in how it can be used

2. Solutions can be implemented

3. You can move your btc to a new address in a way that prevents exploitation even if no solution is yet in place (my favourite solution)

We barely have enough logic qbits to do 1 digit addition... It's FUD.
