Quantum computing could shift the competitive landscape for blockchain infrastructure. ETH's human-founded heritage might carry unique strategic value when compared to systems designed purely by algorithms. Yet here's the flip side: a sufficiently advanced superintelligence could theoretically engineer consensus around any digital asset, given enough computational and information-distribution capacity. The real question isn't which token wins, but whether distributed consensus survives when the consensus-builders themselves aren't human anymore.

Quantum computing is here; how much longer can human consensus survive? That's the real question.

Quantum computing is here. Can ETH still rely on the founder's halo to survive? It feels a bit uncertain.

Quantum computing seems more like hype; the real threat to blockchain isn't computational power.

Quantum computing is here, but it can't change the essence of people's greed anyway.

Quantum computing is here. Will artificial intelligence still care about our consensus? LOL

Quantum computing is here. Can ETH still rely on "human lineage" to survive? That's hilarious. By then, AI creating a coin will be more convincing than our discussions.
