Who are these powerful entities that will not understand it but yet have the ability to use it? Terrorist groups aren't developing it. States are not developing. Companies are developing it. They understand what they are working on and the fallout.

The real question is if quantum is actually going to ever happen. I'm still unsure.

Would you risk it all if the fix is a softfork with a new witness program?

I don't know, you didn't answer my question.

Oh I didn't understand that the question was meant for those of us that didn't make the statement. But I'll entertain it:

I don't believe this. What I think is that there are powerful entities that play a long game, where short-term crises can be anticipated and even prevented, and long-term gains positioned accordingly. Also, no point in stealing coins that will go to 0, so you'd do one or a couple big-but-not-"patoshi" utxo(s) per week.

Bottom line, I don't think that trusting Google, IBM or Microsoft is a good solution to a threat. Also, these can be infiltrated / hacked.

My bad, distracted. Mistake.

Agree with you there.
