This is a fair point. The #1 priority for China would be to hack the military infrastructure, but they would have probably anticipated this and switched to quantum safe encryption by now. Still, they would go for governments first, then crypto, then whatever is left over.
Also, keep in mind they have discovered new ways to quantum compute now, using light not q-buts, so saying it's 40 years out is underrating how quickly new tech can accelerate development. 5 years max til quantum computers can crack Bitcoin encryption. This is my BET. Anyone feel free bookmark this.
Yes, but just because you are in the know doesn't mean normies will be. Your point of ETF is solid, but ETF goes to s**t if fundamentals are broken. If too many people lose their BTC, they'll write BTC off as transitionary tech that has run its course and will simply don't trust the cryptos anymore. There will always be that stigma even with every next crypto. EU tightening on MICA and related isn't helping. Gold will outlive BTC.
Ok, I misread due to skimming quickly. Disregard.
