That's one word for it.
People that imagine diseases and then they treat themselves for imaginary diseases.
Another word is autoimmune disease.
The biological example is I'm reacting destructively to something that shouldn't kill me, but it's going to kill me, allergies, where you actually overreact to the peanut and you go into anaphylactic shock or something and you die.
The peanut shouldn't have killed you.
The peanut didn't kill you.
Your body killed you because you were hypersensitive to the pathogen.
And so in this case,
I think this is why when people talk about Bitcoin and they say it doesn't move fast and that's a feature, not a bug.
Moving too fast is like being hyper allergic or hypersensitive.
It's like I give you a parade of 100 horribles and you have to cure them all.
And the answer is no, you don't.
Because if you actually react to the next 100 things I'm going to enumerate as a risk factor, you'll destroy yourself.
And that is as old as time immemorial.
So my view is consensus will form over time and there will be consensus over the proximity of the quantum threat.
And there'll be consensus about the right solutions.
And there'll be consensus on post-quantum encryption packages.
And there'll be a huge amount of money spent by a lot of different organizations.
And with a lot of these things, the right answer is you should not move too soon.
You should not move too late.
