This is not intended as trolling, but what are the chances that we get all of that cheap energy, abundant safe AI, and an economy which supports everybody’s basic needs without quantum computing?
Won’t bitcoin need to be replaced by an equivalent which uses quantum resistant cryptography? And also I get saying that bitcoin mining isn’t the carbon emissions problem critics say, but how does it create cheap energy? Feel free to send me to some FAQ as I’m sure this has been answered before.
I appreciate the thoughtful reply :)
I didn’t intend it as a serious post -I was actually trolling a bit poking fun at the fitness influencers and course sellers.
I don’t think quantum computing is necessary for abundant AI or cheap energy and goods. We’ve been making advancements in those areas so far, and I see no reason for this to cease.
The connection between bitcoin and cheap energy is simply that it incentives the production of energy that would otherwise go uncaptured. So in certain areas you’ll have an energy surplus that drives prices lower. But I’m not hanging my hat on that bringing prices down in densely populated areas
The energy question is fascinating. Bitcoin allows for 1. adding elasticity to the grid to support demand response, 2. harvesting stranded energy, and 3. incentivizing research into more efficient production and use of energy.
