"Current estimates put breaking 256-bit encryption (including SHA-256) 20-30 years into the future when quantum computers may have enough stable qubits and error correction to implement Grover’s algorithm at scale. While Grover’s algorithm reduces the complexity, SHA-256’s security margin is still considered adequate against such brute force attacks."

that may not be a bad trade for El Salvador. fresh capital now could accelerate good things happening their, including voluntary Bitcoin adoption

Here’s my story

In my mid twenties I was living with my girlfriend and working as an engineer. We got engaged and shit got really rocky between us and we ended up breaking things off. And I spiralled, I quit my job on a dare to do my side hustle full time but financially it was a bad move it wasn’t making enough money and I had a mortgage and bills. I thought I could make it work.

I ended up moving into the city and renting my apartment out below what my mortgage was and began working PT as a valet while still trying to make my business work. But I was going broke. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the city but things financially were not working out.

Finally the real estate market rebounded and I sold my apartment for a small profit and decided to go traveling to SE Asia and Australia and learn to surf. It was amazing and I met a new girlfriend who had invested in her friends bitcoin company. I asked her a million questions about it and bitcoin, she knew nothing she just trusted her friend. I bought some on coinbase and it started going up. I was hooked. I had no idea about bitcoin tho I just knew most investments didn’t appreciate so quickly.

I bought more bitcoin than shitcoins, again I had no clue what I had stumbled on but my gut said I was on to something. I bought more on my credit card at 20% interest. I thought I was going to be a trader I was making money. I went to a coffee shop and traded almost every day.

Eventually my trip came to an end and I was making money and thought I was a genius. Then the market crashed 80% and more on the shitcoins. I became depressed, and anxious I was in a bad financial situation I had debt from my business and blown the profit on my apartment from traveling (worth it haha).

But I didn’t sell it all I just consolidated most in to bitcoin and just Hodl not buying any I was broke. I met my now wife we started dating she was very smart and successful, we have a passionate love affair and I got her pregnant. We had our first kid together I went back to my old engineering job and the everything crashed again and my net worth went negative in 2020 I had some investments and my bitcoin but they went lower than my debt. I cried. I had a family now and was broke. But I had an income and we made it work.

Then bitcoin rallied and I started buying again and finally started to really learn about bitcoin. I sold my shitcoins went all in on bitcoin and saw my net worth skyrocket (for me). And things were good.

Price crashed again but this time I understood what Bitcoin was and I was still in much better shape then in march 2020.

This time is stacked hard. I took it serious, I knew what I was buying. I understood what Bitcoin was. This time was different. I was positioning myself for the future. For the next cycle and the ones after that, low time preference, lower price means more sats.

Bitcoin hits $100K and life is good not perfect but good. All the ups and downs in bitcoin are a good analogy for life. The principal of rhythm, tide goes in tide goes out, ying and Yang.
