B.O.P on Nostr: There will be 20,999,999.99 coins regardless of Quantum vs non-quantum I disagree ...
There will be 20,999,999.99 coins regardless of Quantum vs non-quantum I disagree entirely. When we moved to new addresses when we softforked to segwit or taproot this didnt create more bitcoin it just required people to move their coins to a new address format for security or capability reasons if they so choosed. If a computer is one day able to guess a private key (more private key options than stars and planets in the known universe) then this would just result in stolen coin. There is no creation of new bitcoin in this process.
