"I would say pretty good. we should have advance warning unless something really unexpected happens. people will be breaking XXX bit ECC keys. I think in a crisis situation we can probably get a PQ fork going. but the odds of it going smoothly are much better if we have a few years of active research first. we don't want to just fomo into a random PQ signature scheme. and in theory we will want an orderly opt in migration which should happen over years. the one thing we can't truly fix is the presumed abandoned p2pk coins 1.7m of them or so. i mean we could hard fork them out but I don't"

"the only way stablecoins are more secure than ordinary cryptoassets is that if they are stolen they can be frozen and reissued. a stablecoin on say ethereum is exposed to all sorts of similar risks. admin key takeover infinite mints private key discovery wallet draining (if stables are held in an EOA eg). so ETH will have to introduce a PQ fork and all contracts will have to be reissued to be quantum safe"

You could ascribe negative price action to catalysts that you knew we were going to work through. Now crypto is the forgotten child with AI and the mag7 starring. Retail is focused on datacenters quantum and rare earth stocks. Crypto is trending down based on no catalysts just exhaustion and lack of attention and buyers and a long DAT hangover.

"during Covid the government spent $4-5T or 20-25% of GDP on various handouts and stimulus programs. it's now clear as was very predictable at the time that this spending was overwhelmingly ridden with fraud. and the fraud wasn't really a side effect. the point was to use Covid to hand out gibs to all of the Biden admin's chosen affinity groups. meanwhile every American ended up footing the bill through the resultant inflation. the Minnesota fraud is just the tip of the iceberg but it's totally indicative of what went on. no fraud checks whatsoever (remember that the emphasis during CARES and"

"And on that point specifically if some cryptographic failure undoes Bitcoin certainly no one is going to trust a wildly more complex and black box coin that ALREADY had a massive cryptographic failure that led to a (likely unexploited) inflation bug. Privacy is the enemy of auditability. A coin like ZEC with shielded transactions will never be as credible as a transparent coin because of the fundamental auditability tradeoff. And it will always have question marks hanging over it due to the frequency of inflation bugs in all major coins and the vastly greater attack surface. With transparent"
