Lyn, could you explain why quantum is the biggest risk? I agree it is the biggest risk of bitcoin too, but not in the same way.

Quantum never has to deliver anything (it won’t), but it can invoke fear and action as a social layer attack upon individuals. All they have to do is convince people the threat is real to get people to fork Bitcoin into submission. Trust the physicists….

Can you explain why Bitcoin isn’t THE quantum computer? we’ve already established there is no second best….unless bitcoin is second best to quantum computing.

If we are going to actually talk about quantum fud then we must acknowledge the critical role of the observer/measurement in quantum systems. Why can we just bat an eye at the inherent flawed model of complete centralization in “quantum computing” regarding a singular centralized computer (node), a single centralized observer (miner) and a single centralized owner of all qubits (UTXOs). Why is centralization OK?

The quantum computer has been sitting in front of us for 16 years and nobody has recognized as such. We are all wrong.

Is the image and idea of what a quantum computer can do actually your idea, or was it an idea told to you? Would you recognize a quantum computer if it was right in front of you?

Bitcoin already computes the most important thing, so is there a second best? The only thing I know is that Bitcoin exists without any decoherence.
