F***ng hell.

Can Lopp get any more patronising?

He's on the Bitcoin Conference live stream, discussing the quantum threat to Bitcoin.

He says (patronisingly):

"I won't explain cryptography to you, your eyes would glaze over".

"Hi, I'm Mike, I won't explain condescension to you, your brain would glaze over" 😂 😂 😂

Everyone proposing quantum forks are acting on a trust, don’t verify ethos towards physicists.

Bitcoin would like to know who their observer is, and why should we trust them?

Go and fork Bitcoin!

Do you know what, I didn't watch it after he said that remark. I have difficulty listening to anybody when they patronise the audience.

I didn’t attend and only watched one talk from 2025. But I will make a stand towards the quantum FUD.

I am extremely skeptical towards anyone proposing forks for quantum. Especially when people want to fork bitcoin and/or confiscate old coins due to a threat that has not been verified, only trusted.

If Bitcoin was THE quantum computer, what would that mean?
