Or Bitcoin is the technology that replaces physical theories with an open verifiable instantiation that anyone can literally use.
Why are you so convinced Bitcoin is broken?
Discussion
Who said Bitcoin is broken? The technology risks becoming obsolete if we don't push forward post-quantum encryption, that is all. I think your post confuses the tech and the idea, or... readers confuse it for themselves and you're clear about the idea being unbreakable, though the tech may break if we do nothing.
“The technology risks becoming obsolete if we don't push forward PQC,”
You just did.
The proof you use to claim “the tech may break” is falsifiable.
It is far more probable that Bitcoin would be undermined by modifying it to counter a threat model built on physics that Bitcoin itself invalidates.
why so absolute? just need to have an alternative ready and tested for when it is a threat... Bitcoin is an ideal and can remain perfect in that, and technology evolves so we upgrade to maintain the course towards the idea - simple as that to me
Capitalism at some point was undermined by lack of tech to enforce sound money, let's not lose to that again
Because Quantum FUD is more dangerous than QC itself.
Putting aside nostr:nprofile1qqsrcn632cfyx5j0xpld9m389370ffuzgp8muwshvcrqgwm26sn7uacpzemhxue69uhkzarvv9ejumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqg4waehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvse30xkv's argument, because it is deeper than mine, and he's probably onto something I don't fully grok...
QC can't scale, because at scale thermodynamics takes over.
At scale, the cat is alive or it is dead.
