Bitcoin becoming the dominant global money does not require shared belief.
It simply requires an intransigent minority of people to store much of their value in the protocol.
It is entirely rational to expect this to happen in the coming decades.
The US Gov just invested $2B into Quantum companies.
No, "cracking" Bitcoin should not be your main concern...
@michiokaku explains the real problems and why quantum resistant cryptography is so important for society.
Great collection from Bitcoin Canon telling story of Bitcoin before Bitcoin curated by @samcallah. Great reading for anyone who wants to learn about Bitcoin’s cypherpunk roots.

To be clear, there's nothing new for Bitcoin in the Clarity Act.
It will simply continue our right to hold private keys and use the Lightning Network, which are already covered under existing law.
The Clarity Act is for cryptoblockchain and dollarcoins.

Millions of BTC could be vulnerable to quantum computers
Bitcoin may someday need to sunset those addresses, but that could force a public migration
Today we published a design to let that migration be costless and silent: Public Address-Control Timestamps (PACTs)

The site is the work of @MSTR_Norway, who pulls from a substantial evidence database
He then trained it to answer claims using the FUD-countering model I developed to counter false Bitcoin mining claims and open sourced via @Swan's channel recently
