Not as fun tho, can’t plan thematic doom parties around it.

Except y2k has a deadline beyond which it cannot be monetized by people wanting to look busy and important.

y2k bug was real Quantum computing endangering Bitcoin is just FUD

It's the great quantum bamboozlement, folks want your corn cheap View quoted note →

I remember when my mom was filling the bathtubs with water a couple of hours before midnight, in case the Y2K end of the world screwed up the piping systems 😂

True! Quantum’s the Y2K we didn’t see coming… Bitcoin will adapt

IT ISN'T A "BITCOIN KILLER," BUT IT IS A FORCED EVOLUTION. BEFORE I GET PUSHBACK: KEYWORD " EVALUATION " THE NETWORK WILL HAVE TO "HARDEN" ITS CODE OR RISK BECOMING A HOUSE OF CARDS.... I DONT LIKE THE APPROACH OF NOTHING EVER CAN HAPPEN .... THATS WRECKLESS WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE AWARE , DOESN'T MEAN WE NEED TO OVERREACT OR GO FUCKING CRAZY ... NO NOT SAYING THAT BUT WHAT I DO MEAN IS.. ALWAYS KEEP OUR HEADS ON A SWIVEL

Beware of Kwantum Compoot ™

If that's true, it is true to the same extent or even moreso for all standard encryption, such as bank accounts, web services, nuclear codes, electrical grids, etc... I don't know why it is such a scare tactic for Bitcoin specifically. When (and if) quantum computing happens on a large scale, the world will have far more to worry about than whether our Bitcoin is safe.

Yes, but incredibly even more overblown

🤔

ROFLMAO! And where, pray tell, is the threat other than in theory? Quantum computing doesn’t exist except in theory!

The threat is real. Look into it

QC , QT , QE, Y2K… how about SHSS’s if you know what I mean 🤞

People are acting like quantum computing is being created by some hacker with ill intentions. The only people who are building quantum are trillion dollar companies…..🤷

No, that'd be the 2106 problem.

At least in Y2K there was a clear date where the FUD ended....

the reason the Y2K bug was not disastrous was that people did not underestimate it (and eventually overreacted to it). hope same happens to Bitcoin

If only Bitcoin’s market cap were $200T and quantum was around the corner. Oh yes, sir, would I freak then. At $2T? Nobody cares, we’re not that important yet.

Better fix it too then😂

Except we don’t have a concrete date

I had exactly zero concern for quantum until I listened to @npub1s5yq...6q7z and Charles Edwards on this pod. Now I'm less sure. I'd love to hear someone lay out an explanation of why Charlie's take overblown.

Does this mean we can drop creed and bump to limp bizkit?

Y2K as it turns out was a nothing Burger, for those that coded it and lived through it. 👀
