1/ A reasonable investor might look at the uniquely quantum-resistant coin, QRL, and think it’s pointless to bet on it being successful because
1⃣Quantum Computing won’t be a problem for >10yrs if ever
2⃣BTC & others will adopt QR anyways
ITT: we critically evaluate that thesis

2/ [QC won’t be a problem for >10yrs if ever]- The first part is likely true (see ). Don’t believe the hype. It could take as long as 20-30yrs. Almost NO chance it's <5. But here we run into two KEY misconceptions. First: 'QC may never come to fruition'
3/ This view was notably expressed by @peterktodd & @jimmysong at the recent #Unconfiscatable conference. It's usually based on arguments by 2 physicists, G. Kalai & M. Dyakonov, that QC is literally impossible due to the intractability of error-correction spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hard…
