Other cryptos are fine but Bitcoin is NOT safe. Someone please get this to Gary Gensler immediately. I cannot let this go unsaid.

1) FACT: Bitcoin has a major quantum vulnerability. Within 10 years, a quantum computer with sufficient qubits to run Shor's algorithm WILL exist, and every single dead address with a public signature is vulnerable. Notably, this includes satoshi's coins, and also notably, this problem can't be solved just by switching to a new signing scheme. The coins also have to be moved to new addresses. Since this is impossible for dead addresses, they will go to whichever power hacks them first. This amounts to millions of coins and is an unavoidable doomsday event.

2) FACT: The Bitcoin proof of work algorithm is in a state of hyper-overleverage. Industrial mining operations have sunk hundreds of millions of dollars into their equipment. They must sell bitcoin to sustain production. When the price falls, they must sell more and more bitcoin to continue operating. As miners begin to front run other miners to grab what liquidity is available, cataclysmic price drops are guaranteed. The higher bitcoin's price climbs, the more tightly wound this leverage becomes. Once it breaks, nothing can stop the market shock as miners try to save themselves. When confidence is ultimately lost in PoW, miners will eventually collude to double spend in a race to the bottom, completely zeroing the coin in a Terra-implosion type event.

These dangers are too great to ignore. We are talking about tens of trillions of dollars getting funneled into a technically defunct artifact. Please reconsider this folly.

>1) major quantum vulnerability
>this includes satoshi's coins
The attacks that quantum computing enables require information (the public key) that isn't available until after the first transaction is seen.
Until the first transaction spending an output, all that is known is the hashed version of the recipient key (aka the address) which isn't enough to mount the attack.
>2) proof of work algorithm in a state of hyper-overleverage
>When the price falls, they must sell more and more bitcoin to continue operating
And then it becomes unprofitable and some of them stop mining, and difficulty decreases, which makes it easier to mine, and more people start to mine as it becomes profitable again.

I don't believe you, but it's easy enough to verify surely you can provide a few of those addresses?
It's irrelevant either way though.
>there is an unknown number of dead addresses that also have public signatures
It's about 4 million BTC, and even then it would require millions times more power than the current quantum computers to do it 1 (one) time, nobody is going to get millions of BTC from these dead addresses overnight. And if they somehow did, it wouldn't be in their interest to dump it all.
Not even a big deal for BTC if they did though since it'll basically be like taking the total circulating supply from 17m to 21m. Not even a fraction as bad as the US printing 80% of the total supply in 2021.
Any way you slice it its a nothingburger.

satoshi has over twenty thousand addresses. there are also hundreds of thousands of bitcoin distributed to pay-to-ip addresses created by broadcasting the public key of the recipient address.

the chain getting quantum hacked is not nothing, an attacker has no obligation to care about the health of the bitcoin blockchain, they will drain liquidity out of the system for as long as fools continue to buy into a hacked and insecure chain. the suggestion that no one will care is absurd

Can't list any of those addresses that he's sent a transaction with, huh?
>the chain getting quantum hacked is not nothing
It's not the chain, the attack surface is exclusively inactive addresses that sent an outbound tx before 2016 and kept coins on their old address, and lost their private key.
>an attacker has no obligation to care about the health of the bitcoin blockchain, they will drain liquidity out of the system
If they're doing this attack then they're likely after money, and dumping all of it immediately is going to cost them more than slowly selling over years. Eventually they'll run out though.

So basically Bitcoin will drive quantum computing breakthroughs as there is big bounties in Bitcoin waiting for the ones who build the best biggest quantum computer. How is this bad exactly? Why would the operator of the quantum computer "dump the market"? They obviously spend hundreds of billions of dollars , if not trillions. to build the quantum computer. The rewards are hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin. Totally fine. , up to a few million Bitcoin

haircomb token solves this
in a shorter time frame, aren't ETH ETFs much more dangerous security-wise?
not 100% sure, but don't only a few asset management funds manage well over half of all ETFs?
If they held the underlying assets, they'd theoretically be able to own over half of all eth and manipulate the chain.
This assumes half the supply is even liquid enough for them to take, but if that's possible then it seems like it could happen faster than quantum attacks.

the hardest thing humanity will face in coming 20 years is going to be: what to do with nocoiners.
we're currently in the phase were old state model / state money is collapsing and new btc powered citadel city-states are ascending.
Over time, nocoiners have consistently shown themselves as being irrational, hateful, and possessed with oppositional defiance.
the question is what to do with them? do we put them in camps? do we just let them subsistence gather on the trash heaps on the outskirts of the citadels? do we stealthy give them vaccines to limit their reproductive abilities?

1) is unfounded fearmongering. Quantum decryption might be a problem 10-15 years from now, but we have many years of foresight and runway to approach the problem. The fact that the only real reference to the mechanics of quantum decryption in your post is Shor's algo and the rest is just spurious bullshit, I can conclude you've learned all this from journalists and don't know what you're talking about. Worry less, study more.

2) the miner sell cascade you talk about happens every 4 years because of something call a halving cycle. It's basically a cheat code for free money and we've all been abusing it for around 12 years now.

I fucking hate this flavour of newfag that gets drawn in just before the halving. Every fucking cycle.

It's kinda funny because btc maxi's entire value proposition for btc is that it never changes. If change is allowed, then why not use one of the many chains that already changed to make things work better/more efficiently/to add more features. We aren't talking about a small change either, because as OP said even if you update to a new quantum resistant Pay-To scheme going forward all of the btc still being held by addresses that used old schemes and that exposed their public key will remain vulnerable.

On the surface one idea would be to basically create a new chain and credit all unspent utxos from the old forward to the new, except that that could only work by crediting utxos to the old public keys (otherwise how would the owners ever access them on the new chain) and so would still be vulnerable on the new chain.

Only solution I see would be to basically freeze/invalidate all utxos from vulnerable address schemes. Pretty heavy handed though.
