Like we're building LeanVM.

We're going to formally verify the whole thing and you can just copy paste it.

And it's largely an easy job to integrate it.

Yeah, I disagree with Nick Carter.

And Nick has always been very upset when I tweet about the security budget.

He thinks that it's destructive of the whole industry to be talking about this.

And even though the fundamentals align with what I say in my tweet, like...

we should be treading more cautiously.

And ironically, he's doing the same thing with Quantum that I'm doing with the security budget, which is to try and force the discussion and force change.

Yeah, I mean, I disagree.

And you can just look at historical analysis where you have seashells that were superseded by salt or something, and then they were superseded by silver and then gold.

And then we even have Bitcoin superseding gold potentially.

And just because gold fails doesn't mean that the next thing also has to fail.

And I'd say that Ethereum is the very natural successor to Bitcoin as internet money.

And just because Bitcoin fails doesn't mean that Ethereum has to fail.

I agree with him that there might be some short-term pain, but we're also talking about long-term gain.

Yeah, so one interesting shift of mindset for me in the last few months is that I've stopped thinking about post-quantum as a hurdle that we have to overcome.

And I think of it more as an opportunity.

It's an opportunity for Ethereum to stand out as the very first global financial system that is post-quantum secure.

not just relative to its competitors, you know, like Bitcoin and whatnot, but also relative to, you know, fiat and TradFi.
