I love your story. And I wholeheartedly agree with the game theory. You should write a book with that plot. It would be very entertaining and probably encourage devs to push updates. Couldn’t quantum also reenforce the hashing as well? Being an extremely efficient compute resource? I just listened to Stephen Perrenod and he claims google is on the order of 1000 physical qubits and 1-10 logical cubits. Assuming an aggressive moores law they should double logical qubits about every 1-2 years. This gives us a deadline of 10 years conservatively. We should probably push a solution in the next 5 years. He also reinforced that trad fi uses RSA and ECC and the quantum threat will actually incentivize movement *towards* Bitcoin, not away from it due to its antifragile nature.

Just depends, QuEra/Harvard ran fault tolerant algos on 96 logical qubits a couple weeks ago, error rate going down with scale, that was a shocker. Round two from that team early 2026 (trying to scale gates) could be a good indication. It's kinda funny, so many bitcoiners super bullish on emerging tech, gene editing, AI, nuclear fusion .. except when it comes to quantum then suddenly everyone turns Amish.
