Every time I give a talk on btc, someone inevitably claims that quantum computers will crack Bitcoin, so they refuse to buy any.
I used to patiently explain why that’s impossible—the tech is still nowhere close.
But by the hundredth time I got the question, I changed my answer:
All I know is this: people have been saying the same thing for ten years. They were bearish on Bitcoin because of “imminent” quantum attacks.
They said it when BTC was $100.
They said it at $1,000.
They said it at $10,000.
And now, at $110,000, they’re still saying it.
If you’d shorted Bitcoin at $100 for that reason, you’d have gone broke a thousand times over by now.
So if you’re still avoiding BTC because of quantum-computer fears, either you’ve got a cognitive problem—or you just like being poor.
