I would be interested to hear counter points to the above.

tl;dr ... or rather, I'm gonna give you my priors before reading, and any actual counterpoints will probably end up in a separate comment due to the editing timer.

  1. lots of "QFS spam" is priming people for openness towards new financial systems, while also making them hostile towards XRP
  2. nakamoto consensus is rather orthogonal to quantum security
  3. the chain of bitcoin block headers is the most expensive crypto canary, and actually incentivizes open research into quantum secure algorithms
  4. researchers who wish to claim canary bounties [i.e. mine bitcoin] anonymously are incentivised to improve bitcoin's quantum resilience, rather than shorting futures for fiat
  5. the opex&capex of doing business within bitcoin are changed by the considerations of quantum resilience, although it doesn't "kill" "bitcoin for plebs" any more than lowering the effective block size by ~31MB did.
