To all the based retailers out there, instead of simply jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon... Select a year, or advertise "20 years off", rather than 20%. Might shake a few normies.

*Abstracted. My bad.

Thank you for bringing the wisdom of into my field of view. Yes. I could not agree more that the quantum FUD and controlling narratives is their only play against the sheer resilience that is Bitcoin and its encrypted and verifiable nature. By no means do I seek to perpetuate this narrative, only to anticipate and know my enemy. Would they hit Bitcoin with a sledgehammer? Or would they keep a vulnerability to themselves and suppress technology, keeping it out of reach of adversaries and not show their hand, like they always do? Clearly they have not done the former, and the narrative is a precursor while they build their tools of war. Quantum threat is at least 5 to 10 years away from this possibility, probably longer. Or is that what they simply lead us to believe? They know our mantras, verification is truth. If everything appears to work then nobody doubts its integrity. I for one do not doubt its integrity. I do, however like to run thought experiments to explore views that oppose my own. Maybe they will never break it, maybe they will be too late. I couldn't agree more that their only weapon is sowing dissent and driving a rift between factions of bitcoiners on how to implement quantum resilience into the network. Attacking the weakest front, the human element, is always the best play. But in the realm of possibility, using quantum computing to strengthen the network through mining is something only done if the technology falls in the hands of a true bitcoiner. Yes, it is a spiritual war. May they never break our spirit. John 14:27

That said, all bitcoin analogies suck because it is unlike anything we've ever known. Bitcoin is only like a battery the same way money is like a battery. The same way bitcoin is like many things, but it isn't. Because it's better at all of them.

Time and energy in extracted form. Not electrical energy, can't power your laptop. But hold up enough sats and those plebs will turn a turbine.

Quantum Jenga Scenario: Quantum computing is already able to break bitcoin's encryption. The entity with this technology seeks to topple the system as carefully as possible, like a well-played game of Jenga. They have two goals: 1. Acquire as much capital as possible whilst maintaining investor confidence. 2. Destroy the network which has become the greatest threat to the fiat ponzi system. Prerequisite: Liquidity must be at such a level to continuously support large sell orders without tanking the price beyond retail holder tolerance, ensuring it does not trigger massive sell-offs. We have undoubtedly reached this level. Method: Strategically target the oldest and largest addresses, also the easiest to crack, over a long timeframe to appear as whales exiting a healthy and liquid market. Avoid coins part of strategic reserves or custodied by large institutions. Target lesser known exchanges. Keep new investors interested and unaware, with the market appearing as a buying opportunity, drawing in more liquidity. Identify and eliminate, if necessary, anonymous long-term holders that would speak out if coins were to suddenly vanish. Encryption was the only thing keeping your coins and your person safe from attack. Consider this safety exploited. A call to whales - confirm your assets are still there and accessible, move to multi-signature wallets to enhance security and avoid being targeted. Final thoughts: Satoshi's coins have long been considered a bounty which stands as proof of bitcoin's resilience to attack. For this very reason, it will most certainly be the last piece removed before the tower collapses.

Imagine a 30% drop in property prices! 0% interest rate and no minimum deposit. Well, it's here. No shortage on available addresses either.
