In the future, quantum computers will enhance Bitcoin's security.

Just hear me out...

- quantum-safe signatures may be 10-100x larger than Schnorr signatures

- larger signatures mean fewer transactions per block

- fewer txs are equivalent to smaller blocks (1/10th to 1/100th of today)

- smaller blocks increase bidding for tx fees

- tx fees will be more important for security as the subsidy decreases

QED.. in the future, the need for quantum safe signatures will reduce the risk of an insufficient mining security budget! 😉
