That's right.

But...

But it's still an unknown if we can get to a meaningful level of logical qubits.

We're at 50.

We need a lot more.

But what this innovation does from this paper is just simply an improvement in the software, an improvement in the algorithm.

That means we don't actually need a whole lot more qubits.

We definitely need way more qubits.

But the amount of qubits that we need is now down because we have a more efficient piece of software.

It's always theory, never practice.

And as I understand it, quantum is still theory, not practice when it comes to qubits.

Yeah, I think it's definitely a flashing red light for ecosystems that aren't addressing the problem.

But Ryan, we're smart, logical people in crypto, right?

We're addressing the problem, are we not?

Yeah.

So just to trace over that again, quantum signatures, post-quantum cryptographic signatures, the ones that we need to upgrade to are beefier.

They're heavier.

They take more space, require more compute.

They're slower.

And Bitcoin has already gone through its block size wars and these small blockers won, which is fine.
