I wonder why none of the prefix believers fails to answer this simple question:

Assuming the prefix theory works, it automatically implies a weakness in the cryptographic guarantees of Bitcoin, and more generally automatically implies that the elliptic curve cryptographic assumptions are broken, and also the cryptographic security of SHA256 and/or RIPEMD-160 are also broken.

Yielding BTC as a 0$ asset. Hence, why would you try to solve the puzzle?

If so, why the hell aren't you guys publish a paper and wait for the academic gratitude? It would worth infinitely more than some stupid satoshis... RIGHT ?!?

Maybe because you know deep inside that you're simply just chasing ghosts of the statistical fluctuations of something that is not distinguishable from randomness? Or are you afraid that you'll need to call all the academic peers who'd dismiss your paper in 5 seconds, as people who obviously "don't understand probabilities" and have zero clues about math?
