[ExI] Sell your Bitcoins!

[Kelly Anderson]

John,

  You are aware that Bitcoin can and will change its codebase using
its own quantum algorithms if necessary to protect itself. Selling
bitcoin now only puts your money in banks, stock accounts, or
something else that quantum computing can break apart just as easily.

  Your alarmist argument isn't even an argument. You're simply saying
that quantum computing can someday break bitcoin security as it exists
today. Well that's obvious. But what doesn't make sense is that
billions of dollars aren't going to defend themselves. They will.

I don't know anything for certain, I'd say there's about an 80% chance a quantum computer will break bitcoin by late 2029, but of course well before that day (exactly how much before I don't know) it will become obvious to even the most ardent bitcoin fan did the day of doom is fast approaching, and then the price of bitcoin will collapse.
