Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

It's bricked.

And then, you know, there's like a few case studies of a few people.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

If you really go digging in the Reddit discussions and whatnot, you'll find stuff.

Bankless

But in the grand scheme of things, it's, you know, sum total less than 0.1%.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

So that is the known lost supply.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

But, you know, realistically, there will be...

Bankless

some coins which will be revealed to be lost closer to QDA.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

And that, if I were to make a guess, that is in the small single digit, call it 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% maybe.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

Exactly, yes.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

I mean, if I were to make a concrete prediction, I'd say 2%, which is roughly an order of magnitude less than Bitcoin.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

And this quantitative difference actually has qualitative consequences, which is that in the case of Ethereum, I would strongly advocate for not doing anything and really honoring property rights because at the end of the day, whatever, 2% is not a big deal.

Bankless

In the case of Bitcoin, 15% is a massive deal.

Bankless

And if you zoom out and you look at the big picture, we're basically moving towards Ether being much better money than BTC.

Bankless

It will be non-interventionist, respectful of property rights.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

It will be quantum secure, and it will not have the security budget issue that is going to plague Bitcoin in a couple of halvings.

Bankless

And so I think this is a big opportunity for Ether, the asset.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

So there's two problems that need to be solved.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

There's the technical one and the social one.

Bankless
Ethereum’s Quantum Strategy with Justin Drake

If you look at the technical one, Haseeb is correct that there's basically three problems that Ethereum has to solve.

Each of the different layers of Ethereum.
