If this is true (it is IMO) then these so-called âupgradesâ and âmitigationsâ are nothing but injections of doubt into a system that doesnât need fixing. They defend against a threat that has never been demonstrated, never measured, and never verified. The real attack is psychological: make people believe Bitcoin is broken, and theyâll accept anything in the name of âsafety.â Every proposed âquantum mitigationâ is a solution in search of a problem. There is no physical evidence of a threat, only narrative engineering. These proposals operate as social exploits, not technical defenses designed to erode trust in Bitcoinâs thermodynamic finality by convincing users that an unverifiable danger demands centralized intervention. They arenât protections; theyâre control mechanisms disguised as improvements. They rely on fear of a hypothetical threat to justify changes that compromise Bitcoinâs core premise: verification over trust. The only real vulnerability is the belief that Bitcoin needs saving from the very physics it already enforces.
