"You are correct that it is still too early to tell whether the LK-99 superconductor substance will compromise Bitcoin's encryption. However, there are a few things to consider that suggest that it is unlikely to be a major problem in the near future.

First, as you mentioned, cracking SHA-256 in 10 minutes would require a quantum computer with an enormous number of qubits. The current state of quantum computing is still very far from this, and it is not clear when or if such a computer will be feasible.

Second, even if a quantum computer capable of breaking SHA-256 were to be developed, it would still take time to crack all of the Bitcoin keys that have been generated so far. This is because Bitcoin's blockchain is constantly growing, and new keys are being generated all the time.

Finally, as Satoshi Nakamoto pointed out, even if all of the Bitcoin keys were to be cracked, it would still be possible to agree on a way to continue the blockchain using a new hash function.

In conclusion, while the LK-99 superconductor substance does pose a potential threat to Bitcoin's security, it is not clear that it will be a major problem in the near future. There are a number of factors that suggest that Bitcoin will be able to adapt to the threat of quantum computing.

I agree that Satoshi Nakamoto's comments on the threat of quantum computing are reassuring. It is clear that he has thought about the issue carefully, and he has a plan for how to deal with it if it becomes a problem.

I think that the most important thing for the Bitcoin community to do now is to stay informed about the latest developments in quantum computing. We need to be aware of the potential threats, but we also need to be realistic about the timeline for when they might become a reality.

If we do our part to stay informed, we will be well-positioned to deal with the threat of quantum computing when it does eventually become a problem."
