Seems like pulling precious metals from asteroids is on a similar timeline to having CRQC so it’s interesting to me that gold falling from the skies isn’t a concern for the gold market. At least bitcoin can innovate it’s way through this. Innovation will only serve to expand the gold supply.

Because you still have to mine them, ton by ton, you can't just tow one of these to earth, put a parachute on it and done.
Whereas if a lab right now today had a number of quantum machines running 2k logical qubits and 1b gates, Bitcoin would be game over in a week. As in game truly over. Yeah we're nowhere near, but we are at 100 logical qubits and advances in error-correction means there is a clear theoretical path to billions of gates. So it's not crazy pills.
Different threat types.
