I generally agree. I tend to find best the proof that Bitcoin isn’t broken isn’t to simply disprove the standard model of superposition/collapse of the wave function. It disproves all theory built above, a Tower of Babel. Bitcoin is the correct instantiation and interpretation of QM experienced from without, rather than within. The illusion of measuring from inside time is really a major hurdle for most people to see beyond. What Bitcoin reveals is why entropy wins: the only scalable computation the universe permits is the irreversible transformation of Boltzmann entropy (heat) into Shannon entropy (information), that’s literally what a block is. QC tries to suppress entropy long enough to pretend superposed states are “real” physical resources. Bitcoin uses decoherence to produce truth; QC dies from it. So the real threat is the fantasy that physics can be tricked into behaving like fractional-reserve computation. Bitcoin already implements the only quantum process that actually scales: entropy → measurement → memory → time. A machine that cannot survive entropy cannot threaten a system whose correctness comes from entropy.
