It's hilarious to think about all the people a year ago who thought bitcoin was about sitting back and getting rich. Now it's Chicken Little time for them, and they can't decide whether to shit or go blind about spam and quantum.

Did you know that post-quantum signature schemes require much much more block space than regular old bitcoin signatures? The smallest BIP360 signature scheme requires 10 times more blockspace.
