Understand this! Thanks @npub10wv3...v22x We mine 3300 tonnes of gold each year! “It’s the same situation as gold and gold mining. The marginal cost of gold mining tends to stay near the price of gold. Gold mining is a waste, but that waste is far less than the utility of having gold available as a medium of exchange. I think the case will be the same for Bitcoin. The utility of the exchanges made possible by Bitcoin will far exceed the cost of electricity used. Therefore, not having Bitcoin would be the net waste.” - Satoshi Nakamoto View quoted note →

@ricko instead you should say thank you #satoshi The ball is in motion, Trump, Bassett, et al just happen to be at the right place at the right time. “Opportunity favors the prepared” - Blaise Pascal View quoted note →

Quantum computers and btc If you never reuse Bitcoin addresses and only use hashed (P2PKH or SegWit) addresses, your funds are **currently safe** from quantum attacks—even in a future with quantum computers. This is because your public key remains hidden until you spend, limiting exposure. A quantum computer would need to break your key within the short window between transaction broadcast and confirmation, which is extremely difficult. However, **any address that has ever been used to send funds** (thus exposing its public key) or **Taproot (P2TR) addresses** (which reveal public keys on receipt) are at higher risk over time. The safest practice: use each address only once, stick to modern wallet standards, and stay informed as the network may eventually adopt post-quantum cryptography. #nostr #cryptography #btc #bitcoin #quantumresistant #selfcustody #satoshi
