THELOGICALINDIAN - The Bitcoin TimeTraveller has alternate so what added advice about the approaching can he accompany Turns out none as he reveals himself to be aloof some guy with a beef about Bitcoin Oh and additionally Quantum accretion isnt at accident of breaking Bitcoin any time anon so arctic out
“I Am [Not] A Time-Traveler From The Future”
The Time-Traveller adventure is one of the best alluring in Bitcoin’s assize of out-there cabal theories, alike resurfacing on Hong Kong civic TV, actuality explained by a above beauty-queen. It emerged from a 2013 reddit post, purportedly from a approaching time-traveller active in a dystopian world, destroyed by Bitcoin.
HODLers assure their assets by holing up in gated ‘Citadels’ to accumulate able-bodied abroad from the No-coiner masses. Most governments no best exist, although that of North Korea inexplicably does, and holds 180,000 BTC (the better actual attainable stockpile).
Perhaps we admired the adventure for its arduous complete incredulity? Or maybe we admired it because we already had some BTC and (according to the time-traveller) would be cautiously ensconced central a approaching Citadel?
Demonstrably False… Even Before The Confession
Aside from the adorable predictions of exponentially accretion Bitcoin price, the time-traveller adventure acquired a assertive bulk of prominence, because in its aboriginal years it seemed to be advancing true… except of course, that it didn’t.
However, if you were hopped up on Hopium and analytic accomplished at brainy gymnastics again you could altercate that the predicted abstracts almost tallied with what came to pass.
“Well gee, this blew up.”
Now, however, the ‘time-traveler’ has returned, appearing absolutely afraid at the absorption his column got. Despite his accepted acceptance of a abridgement of accurate approaching knowledge, he is still blubbering adjoin Bitcoin. Albeit now his capital focus is on the network’s activity consumption, which wasn’t advised so abundant of an affair in 2013 back the aboriginal column was made.
His appropriate band-aid is to advertise your bitcoin, which he claims, “indirectly has the aftereffect of abbreviation the ecological accident acquired by Bitcoin mining.”
Except of course… that it doesn’t… unless anybody abroad does that too… in which case cipher is larboard to buy them.
The hardest of the determined tinfoil hat army may still attack to adhere on to the theory. After all, conceivably somebody aloof managed to drudge the time-traveller’s Reddit details? But for the blow of us… able-bodied I assumption we still accept a day for the 4Chan ‘Wizard’ to be accepted right.
Quantum Computing: Another Bitcoin Myth Busted
Whilst we accept our myth-busting hats on, lets accept a attending at this abstraction that quantum computing is about to breach Bitcoin’s cryptography.
Not so, according to Blockstream CSO, Samson Mow. At a Liquid meetup in Las Vegas yesterday, he was able over his thoughts on breakthrough computing.
Mow appropriate that, although a 53 qubit breakthrough computer exists today, you would charge 3000 qubits to breach Bitcoin. And that isn’t activity to appear any time soon. Keep calm and backpack on people.
