ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

Maybe that was the right choice for then.

What potentially happens now is that with even bigger transactions, Bitcoin TPS is going to go from three transactions per second to, if it makes the transition to post-quantum, 0.3 transactions per second.

That's micro blocks, man.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

Do we need to even hash out the big block, small block war again?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

No.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

Maybe not because, yeah, I could say it just like you just actually just don't need to transact on Bitcoin.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

You just need to hold the Bitcoins.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

And maybe this also solves the Bitcoin fee budget with 0.3 transactions per second.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

I think there's an argument for the small blocker side of things.

These are assumed tokens that will never move because the owner is gone or dead or the private keys are lost.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

And so the only way that they will move is that these wallets are going to get exploited eventually by the incoming quantum computer.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

And then whoever has that quantum computer gains access to 2.3 million tokens.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

out of the 21 million satoshi coins and that is the guaranteed number that is available to the quantum computer and then there's the 6.9 million again of the 21 million total bitcoins that is bitcoin that is vulnerable that needs to be migrated and we do not know to what degree that those coins are also lost at least some and so what do you do with the dormant coins actually google delved into this as well in their paper and they're like there's four options

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

I see.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

So that is kind of, that is the burn, but with a escape hatch for people who actually do have the private key.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

That's right.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

Yeah.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

See, I like that one.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

I would do that one.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Google’s Quantum Warning | Trump’s Iran Speech | Ethereum Economic Zones | Drift Hack

I do kind of like that one.
