overton window recap: quantum computing is fictional tech quantum might be real but it's 20-30 years away. no urgency to do anything quantum is not a problem, but investors worried about quantum are a problem, so we might think about an upgrade someday quantum might be a problem but we will just adapt when it gets closer <--- YOU ARE HERE preparing for quantum will take years, and time to Q-day seems to be decreasing. we should start considering an upgrade quantum progress is nonlinear, private, and unknowable, but Q-day is likely within a decade so we have to bite the bullet and upgrade immediately under conditions of uncertainty despite the costs --- when we started, most of you were at the very top. now most of you are three or four notches down. most of you who were claiming QC is fictional or poses no risk have relented and grudgingly acknowledged it's a real concern. there are only a few holdouts in that camp. you can complain about me all you like, but i've seen you all move down the notches quite predictably. the overton window has shifted already. in a month or two you'll be at the bottom with me.

Elliptic curve cryptography is on the brink of obsolescence. Whether it’s 3 or 10 years; it’s over and we need to accept that The only thing that matters is how quickly blockchain developers recognize that they need to bake in cryptographic mutability into their networks This of course requires an entire reimagining of how these systems work. Today the crypto is hardcoded in. That will have to change ETH people have already figured this out. Everyone else seems to be petrified in fear. Unless something changes quickly ETHBTC will start to reflect the divergence in prioritisation
