people imagine the first quantum computer (if any) will be some guy in a lab secretly connecting a few cables

the truth is if this ever happens it’ll be on a manhattan project level of focus. all eyes will be on which inputs this device processes. it’s not gonna just happen

and this will require a few high profile breakthroughs, each requiring several orders of magnitude of engineering improvements, until it’s feasible to break 128 bits

Wasn't the Manhattan project secretive af?

Why is everyone so convinced a centralized “quantum” computer is going to break the only decentralized supercomputer that computes time itself?

Blocks are discrete and quantized “blocks” of time local to Bitcoin. If time is quantized and discrete, the entire formalism of QM is falsified as the models assume AND require continuous time to work.

The proof is right in front of everyone….its just not equally understood. They want us to break Bitcoin ourselves by responding to their narrative claims.
