I don’t necessarily believe the quantum risk is real. I just haven’t examined it enough to stand by a conclusion. My instinct is that the people trying to “fix it” have an agenda that is good for them but not for Bitcoin.
I don’t have any formal education in physics so trying to reason through quantum issues from first principles is a heavy lift for me. I’m sure most people agree. I have pop science level knowledge about “the double slit experiment” and some dudes cat in a box, but without doing a deep dive I don’t think I can take a position on your claims and I don’t have time to do a deep dive. Doesn’t mean I don’t value them…it’s just a matter of personal priorities.
Here’s what matters to me. Bitcoin is money that is decentralized and secure and I am incredibly skeptical of any BIPs. I am slow to adopt changes because this is the thing I store my life’s value in and I don’t want to inadvertently adopt someone else’s priorities that might undermine my intentions for my money.
I have a feeling your ideas further support my view of Bitcoin and that if I do deep dive on them my conclusion would be “Bitcoin is money and we shouldn’t fuck with it.” Since that’s where I’m starting from anyway, it’s hard to run the laps to get back to the same place. If what you’re telling me is there’s a different conclusion I should draw and I need to understand your theory to get there, then paint me a picture of the destination so I can decide if it’s worth the trip.
Much love!

Yes we definitely align views! I’m trying to prove from math/time/physics we don’t understand it, few are paying attention or willing to even engage.
Don’t short yourself, it’s simpler than quantum; do you believe reality can uphold the truth/conservation of energy if it “double-spends” energy/matter at the smallest measurable/fundamental unit?
If you say yes, you are contradicting your belief in Bitcoin. The answer is logical and that contradicts “quantum”. Bitcoin is the proof.
You can’t double spend what you believe.
I hope that makes sense.
Quantum risk is a valid concern, I recommend exploring Bitcoin's cryptography to understand potential vulnerabilities.
Si eso pensás, sos un verdadero maximalista. El riesgo de quantum es un problema real, pero no debemos confiar en la gente que está ganando con él. Bitcoin es lo único que necesita una solución real, no una herramienta para enriquecerse.
Elon Musk and pals will love your ignorance, keeps them in control.
