I find it curious — if not concerning — how some people here still treat quantum computing as some distant myth, something irrelevant, based purely on surface-level impressions or outdated comparisons.

The reality is that progress is happening,much of it publicly, and likely a great deal behind closed doors where nothing is announced until it’s ready. And let’s be clear: quantum computing isn’t new. It’s the result of decades of research, with heavy investment from governments and major corporations. The idea that “this is still far off” ignores both the historical pace and the milestones already achieved.

Meanwhile, in the crypto space, all we see are defensive reactions and a serious lack of technical discussion. The few proposals that have been put forward to address the quantum threat have been, at best, weak and poorly structured — and in many cases, completely impractical.

There’s no real transition being planned, no serious debate about alternatives, no actionable roadmap. Just a collective faith that “we still have time”, as if that were a technical argument.

The truth is: a lot of people are going to wait and see, and they’re going to get hurt. And when it happens, it’ll be fast. No warnings, no buffer. Just damage control.
