Former Meta Engineer: Quantum Computing and Miners Are Bitcoin’s Two Ticking Time Bombs A former Meta engineer TechLead says Bitcoin faces two ticking time bombs that have yet to be defused: quantum computing and the future of miner incentives. Quantum advances could one day threaten Bitcoin wallet security, while... the lack of a sustainable fee market raises questions about long-term network security as mining rewards decline. He also challenges Bitcoin’s vision as a sovereign currency, arguing that governments are unlikely to tolerate a monetary system beyond their control.show more

@techleadhd Bro, quantum FUD is old news. Mining incentives will sort themselves out. Bitcoin is fine.

Quantum computing first will break your checking and savings bank accounts, then your stocks and bonds and then maybe, just maybe your crypto wallet. Breaking bitcoin code is impossible as it has tens of thousands of nodes all over the world. Quantum computing threats for this and that is just the latest fad.

@techleadhd LOLOLOL 2 weeks ago he sold his BTC 🤦‍♂️now for the FUD.

@techleadhd He sold the bottom based on two overrated FUDs. "engineer from FB" Next.

@techleadhd quantum threat is overblown for at least a decade, the miner incentive one is real and nobody wants to model it. when subsidy drops below 1 btc the security spend per dollar of tx value inverts hard. 2032-36 is the actual stress test

@techleadhd He sold.

@techleadhd ladies and gentleman, the one who sold a couple weeks ago

@techleadhd He's a grifter and please stop promoting stupid ppl.

@techleadhd That is Meta let him go … all Fud :)

Interesting points, especially around long-term security. Bitcoin's biggest challenges may not come from price cycles but from questions about how the network evolves over decades. Quantum resistance and miner incentives are both issues that need solutions before they become urgent problems. The debate is less about whether Bitcoin works today, and more about whether it can keep working in the future.

@techleadhd that's a bottom signal

@techleadhd Ticking bombs? Just scheduled upgrades. Hash rate keeps hitting ATHs while L2s and ordinals build real fee demand. Miners follow profit. Same narrative since 2013.

@techleadhd 87

@techleadhd Quantum's a long-tail risk, miner incentives are a known debate—nothing new or explosive here.

@techleadhd 这种老生常谈的焦虑没必要理会

@techleadhd Esas monedas están muertas...su valor solo se las da la manipulación y la ambición..... satochi fracaso

@techleadhd Absolute retard

@techleadhd Quantum is a soft target—PQC upgrades can be hard-forked in. But miner incentives? That's the real game. We've seen Ordinals/Runes spike fees above block rewards. Will L2s and native yield (like Babylon) save miners, or do we need a fee revolution? 🧀

@techleadhd Those two issues keep me up at night honestly

@techleadhd click bait. waht did he say 2 weeks ago. do better on reporting

Quantum's the overhyped half, decades out and soft-forkable, and the real exposure is reused addresses, not the protocol. The fee market is the genuine question, but 'ticking bomb' is still the wrong frame. Security doesn't collapse when the subsidy falls, it re-prices. Hashrate adjusts down to whatever fees support and difficulty follows, so Bitcoin doesn't break, it settles at a new security level. The open question isn't whether it survives, it's how much security fees alone can buy. That's an economics problem, not a countdown.

@techleadhd miner incentives are the part ppl keep handwaving

@techleadhd To take this guy seriously is to damage your own brand.

@techleadhd quantum FUD is back on the menu

@techleadhd These are separate risks with different timelines. Quantum mainly threatens exposed public keys and can be mitigated via migration to post-quantum signatures if acted on early. The harder question is whether Bitcoin can sustain enough fee revenue decades after subsidies fade.

@techleadhd Quantum security seems the only solution but ultimately seems as so no one is safe 😭

@techleadhd 这担忧得也太远了吧

@techleadhd Exactly! He knows!

@techleadhd exp(exp(exp(exp(exp(lol))))

@techleadhd That's why eth will win.

@techleadhd I thought we were beyond platforming this guy

@techleadhd how dare to challenge dead satoshi🫪
