I learned a lot from that Scott Locklin article. I am going to try to dig up more of his content on QC. Smart guy and he's a very entertaining writer.

I have read some of these, and they are clearly written from the doubter's perspective. I've shared a number of resources about advancements in quantum (

 is probably best) and about bitcoin's reaction (

). Give James' links a read if you want the critical view of quantum computing.

I have read some of these, and they are clearly written from the doubter's perspective. I've shared a number of resources about advancements in quantum ([Scott Aaronson's blog](https://scottaaronson.blog/) is probably best) and about bitcoin's reaction ([chaincode's report on quantum](https://chaincode.com/bitcoin-post-quantum.pdf) and most recently [optech's 2025 review](https://bitcoinops.org/en/newsletters/2025/12/19/#quantum)). Give James' links a read if you want the critical view of quantum computing.
