比特币归零宣言: Pow-PQC Manifest: Manifest of Bitcoin wannabe-Zero

[misrepresented arguments]

今天是2024年4月14号，

今天已经是一年一度的全球第四个世界量子日！

到今天第四个世界量子日为止，全球具有量子意识，

量子意识已经觉醒的人数，应该已达到了2000万人的数量级左右。

过去的几十年，是电子计算机的时代，

电子计算机利用了物理上的电子现象来进行计算；

而量子计算机，则是利用了物理上的量子现象进行计算，

这是一个量子计算的新时代，在未来也许长达几百年，甚至几千年的时间跨度里，

如果人类没有发明，或者发现一种新的，

除了电子和量子之外的第三种物理粒子现象，去进行计算前，

这全世界的未来几千年，都将是量子计算的时代！

人类实际上已经进入了量子计算机的时代！

过去十多年，恰好在比特币发布时，

人类在量子计算上，取得了一次又一次研发上质的飞跃发展和进展，

这也导致全球以美国为主，从2022年就开始要求

几乎所有的互联网，云，数据，政府和金融系统等，

都尽量在2030年，或2033年，或最迟2035年，

全部地！尽量地！

升级迁移到量子计算机不能破解的算法，即PQC算法！

升级迁移到抗量子计算机破解算法，

是有史以来，遍及全球的，

最大范围内的密码学算法升级迁移！

是密码学“算法现代化”的最重要一步！

所有的加密货币，尤其是比特币，

如果不能像全球互联网，云，数据，政府和金融系统那样，

及时地，成功地，全部升级到抗量子计算机破解算法，

那将是不可思议的！

那将会导致比特币完全的共识涣散，共识崩溃，

甚至数量级地归零，或者彻底归零！

但很遗憾的是，

作为全球最顶级的抗量子计算机破解算法的研究者，学习者，和科普者团队，

我们在过去若干年反复检验讨论的判断是：

即使在未来几十年，如果比特币还存在的话，

其全面地，成功地，升级迁移到抗量子计算机破解算法，

都是非常困难，几乎不可能完成的任务！

比特币实际上是几乎所有数字货币，

尤其是所有PoW机制运行的加密货币里，

最难全部完全地成功升级到抗量子计算机破解算法的。

对一般人而言，认识到这四个最简单易懂的事实或依据，

就相对很容易地理解：

为什么比特币是最难全部地完全升级到抗量子计算机破解算法的加密货币：

一是：

所有加密货币升级到抗量子计算机破解算法，

都需要用户自行地，主动地，在其终端，手动地，

敲击键盘来执行软硬件操作，以完成升级，

这种“用户手动升级”的过程，被称为“跳船”。

用户要自行主动地手动升级，

很显然地用户越多，则升级难度越大，

相比其他数字货币，比特币有最多的地址和用户，所以升级难度最大；

而对所有的数字货币来说，越推迟升级，或延迟升级，

累积的用户也越多，相对而言，也越难完全地升级成功。

所以要尽早地升级，才能最大限度地使得最多的用户成功地升级迁移

二是：

截止现在，只有三类抗量子计算机破解的数字签名算法，

可以用于比特币升级：多变量签名，哈希函数签名，和格签名。

过去几十年，一类新算法的发现，发展，改进，改善，通常需二三十年。

所以说成熟的，稳定的，潜在的，比特币可用于升级的抗量子计算机破解算法，

即使未来几十年，也只有这三类。

三是：

所有的抗量子计算机破解算法都有非常大的公钥，或者很大的签名，

这种现状，即使在未来几十年里，也不可能得到实质性的质的改变或改善。

比特币核心开发者如果希冀得到更短的签名，更短的公钥，

或者进一步改善各种特性，都基本不可能得到质的改进改善，

所幸的是，当前的抗量子计算机破解算法，

至少可以满足当前可见的最高限度的量子安全的基本要求。

四是：

所有PoW机制的加密货币，在任何一次对外发送交易时，

都需要在计算验证过程中，在整个网络中，发送公钥和签名！

如果在PoW机制中运行的任何一种签名算法的公钥长度，

和签名长度之和，称为Broadcasting Unit Size即BUS广播单元长度，

那么BUS越大，以及区块容量越小，则网络越容易堵塞。

在PoW机制下，采用任何一种抗量子计算机破解算法，在对外发送交易时，

BUS大约是现正应用在比特币里的椭圆曲线ECC256签名算法的很多很多倍。

准确地说，在安全等级为1前提下，上述三种抗量子签名算法中，

格签名的BUS，是比特币里正应用的椭圆曲线签名BUS的20倍或40倍；

哈希函数签名的BUS则是200倍，而多变量签名的BUS则高达2000倍。

只需要会一些简单的乘除法运算，就可以很容易地计算出，

如果比特币仍保持当前1MB区块空间时，

因为比特币当前的常态峰值是每秒7次交易，

那么采用上述三种抗量子计算机破解算法中间的任何一种，其常态峰值交易次数，

如采用一种BUS是20倍的格签名时，采用后其常态峰值大约是每次交易20/7秒，

即每次交易大约耗时3秒；

同样地，比特币如采用40倍BUS的格签名来抗量子计算机破解时，

每次交易将耗时40/7秒，即常态峰值约每次交易耗时6秒；

同样地，如采用200倍BUS的任何一种哈希函数签名来抗量子计算机破解时，

每次交易将耗时200/7秒，即常态峰值约每次交易耗时30秒；

同样地。如采用2000倍BUS的任何一种多变量数字签名来抗量子计算机破解时，

每次交易将耗时2000/7秒，即常态峰值约每次交易将耗时300秒；

值得注意的是：这种常态峰值并没有考虑在“跳船”发生时的非常态峰值，

即可能导致海量用户，在高并发量地产生新地址，

在对外发送交易时，全网海量地对外广播采用了抗量子算法的

非常大的公钥，或很大的签名时的“非常态峰值”，

这种“非常态峰值”，将导致全网系统地全面堵塞。

经过计算，如比特币保持1MB区块空间，

那么即使在常态下，全部完成所有比特币地址的升级迁移，将可能需要长达20年。

这也是为什么新建的系统，必须全面采用抗量子算法。

因为新建系统在采用抗量子算法后，不需要考虑“跳船”时，

海量用户在高并发量的特殊情况，

新建系统直接采用抗量子算法，

比改造已有的并未采用抗量子算法的系统，显然要更容易！

以上这种交易效率在1MB区块空间时，是不可想象地低效！

这实际上已经说明了：

即使比特币采用任何一种抗量子计算机破解算法，

如果没有经过特别的处理，

都不可能在1MB区块空间前提下，长期持续地采用运行PoW机制！

进一步地，我们总结了比特币升级到抗量子算法的五个障碍，

其中第一个障碍就是关于区块空间大小，我们把这第一个障碍，

称之为：比特币升级到抗量子计算机破解算法的不可能三角，

即比特币不能在升级到任何一种抗量子算法时，

能使得最多的用户的用户完成升级，

同时在保持1MB的前提下，长期持续地运行PoW机制。

即比特币如升级到抗量子算法，需迁移尽可能多的现有比特币用户时，

如要最大共识地同时保持PoW机制，将必须要放弃1MB区块空间！

考虑到比特币有最大量的用户，及海量用户跳船时产生的非常态峰值的情况，

比特币的区块空间应大幅度地增加到256MB，

才有可能在全球公开讨论的前提下，

可能在一定的时间内，

能将尽量多的用户升级到新的抗量子计算机破解算法。

比特币升级到抗量子算法的第二个障碍是：

无论采用哪一种抗量子计算机破解算法，都不能长期运行PoW机制，

除非采用了一种“邮政编码化的多变量数字签名算法”的方式，

这种邮政编码化的方式，

本质是将多变量数字签名这种算法的非常大的公钥，

以类似“邮政编码化”的方式，放置在更早前的区块高度上。

采用邮政编码化的多变量数字签名算法组合，

是未来几十年，唯一的一种

“既抗量子计算机破解，同时也能长期运行PoW机制的，具有最大共识可能”的方式。

这种方式方法，一直在一种2018年就已发布的Raqcoin区块链上运行，

比特币应参照参考Raqcoin区块链，采用这种已经经过测试的成熟方式，

成为第二种采用这种“邮政编码化”方式，采用多变量数字签名来抗量子计算机破解，

以具有最大共识可能地，长期稳定地运行PoW机制。

但是，比特币升级到抗量子计算机破解算法的第三个障碍是：

升级到任何一种抗量子破解算法，比特币都须退回一步，退回到若干年前的状态，

比如退回到2015年前的比特币，

因为所有这三类抗量子算法，都不支持2015年之后的技术路线，

这种倒回到若干年前状态的比特币的概定，定义，尤其是执行细节，

都需要全球比特币社区，尽快地，公开透明地，一个一个步骤地讨论。

另外，比特币升级到抗量子计算机破解算法的第四个可能障碍是：

比特币应将现行的哈希函数搜索挖矿，改为解多变量方程式挖矿，

以更加可能地去中心化，更具有社会意义，更具有数学意义；

以及，比特币升级到抗量子计算机破解算法的第五个可能障碍是：

比特币应将现行的每四年减半供应量，

改为每四年减25%，或10%甚至更少，

以成为一个可继续运行近千年的加密货币。

但是，即便所有以上五个非常难以解决的障碍，

能够克服，执行，并解决。也

很难解决600万个比特币数量级的长期静默地址，

或口令丢失的地址，以及这600万数量级比特币能不能升级，

是否需要升级，以及如何升级的众多问题。

唯一有可能促进以上障碍，能够尽快地解决的方式，

很显然便是就在现在，比特币社区，关心加密货币的各种各类个体，群体和组织，

必须开始全部地，公开地，透明地，广泛地开始讨论，以形成公开可行的解决方案。

如果不这样做，那么形势将有多么严峻呢？

可以确定的是，在2030年左右，

几乎全球主要的互联网系统，云系统，数据系统，以及全球的政府和金融系统，

都基本上，或已经大部分地，将完成升级到抗量子计算机破解算法，

还可以确定的是：在今年的2024年，

NIST将基本完成了抗量子算法的确定，

虽然这些抗量子算法的特性，对加密货币的场景应用，

还不丰富成熟，但基本都已符合，尤其是比特币最低可用场景的需求，
我们应全面支持采用了经过充分同行评审的算法去改造比特币，或应用在新建的加密货币上，即使是这些算法将用于比特币的新的分叉链上。

同时，我们可以有一个基础判断的是：

在2030年前，比特币社区如果不能全球公开地，透明地，尽快地全面讨论，

并得到切实可行地，升级迁移到抗量子计算机破解算法升级的解决方案，

那么，随着越来越多的人，了解认识到升级迁移到抗量子计算机破解算法的

必要性，紧迫性，那么比特币的共识，很可能将会部分的分散，

共识会部分崩溃，甚至忽然坍塌性的崩溃。而数量级地归零。

那么，在比特币有可能在未来几年

将共识分散，共识崩溃，甚至归零的

可能非常糟糕的预警情况下，

我们应该大声地，利用各种渠道，发出各种声音，

提醒，警告，预警，呼吁！

所以我们更愿意呼吁全球比特币和加密货币社区，

采用这种口号，来大声地预警和呐喊：

比特币可能归零！比特币归零！

这种震惊式口号的预警，应该可能得到高度重视和预警，

这将呼吁全球的加密货币的参与者，推动者，政策制定者等，

全面地正视这种可能的局面，

才有可能在取得最大共识可能前提下，

至少有可能部分地得出使得比特币

能够较为流畅地升级迁移到抗量子计算机破解算法的解决方案。

呼吁大家都喊出“比特币归零”作为预警口号，作为唤醒公众意识的手段，
目的是促使比特币在算法现代化过程中，

最好能继续长期的保持PoW机制，

全面成功地升级到抗量子计算机破解的算法

如果能通过这种呼吁，最终成功地，或部分成功地，

使比特币升级到抗量子计算机破解算法，

那么这将是现代算法历史上，成功升级的奇迹！

“比特币归零”，是立即提高认识，达成目的的手段！

先贤有言：知其可为而为之！

本来无望的事，大胆尝试，往往能成功！

Was hopeless, bold attempt, often can succeed.

如果通过这种呼吁，即使全球加密货币的参与者，推动者，政策制定者等共同努力，

也不能使比特币最终，即使是部分成功地升级到抗量子计算机破解算法，

那么至少我们不会遗憾，我们将会总结出失败的教训，

如果经过全球地公开透明地讨论，比特币仍不能升级到抗量子算法，

那么妥善地临终关怀和处理，避免浪费人类社会对加密货币的信心，资源，和信用，

继续不顾一切代价地挽救，拖垮，和浪费人类社会对加密货币的信用，都将是不值得的。

毕竟，即使比特币归零，完全可能是一鲸落，万物生！

回看人类从直立行走，到发明车轮，发明马车，

不停地进化到发明汽车，火车，飞机，

直到马斯克的直达火星的spaceX，

人类的目的是为了更好的交流交通，

更快地，更省能源地到达目的地，而不是为了交通工具本身。

某种程度上，比特币是人类实现Peer-to-Peer理想的手段，

比特币本身绝不是人类的目的。

如果比特币真的最终归零，

它也为未来全球可能持续几百年的量子计算机时代，

可能继续运行几百年的工作量证明的加密货币，

而得到了某种程度上的新的可能性！

比特币可能归零！

再次，我们呼吁全球范围的加密货币群体，

最大限度地，公开透明地讨论：

比特币如何升级到抗量子计算机破解算法，如何克服各种升级障碍；

因为新建项目，比改造项目更容易采用抗量子计算机破解算法，

我们呼吁从现在起，新建项目尽量全部采用抗量子计算机破解算法；

我们也呼吁所有现有的加密货币，

即使不如比特币升级那么困难，

也应尽快地，尽量地升级到抗量子计算机破解算法！

我们更呼吁加密货币

更应该符合以美国为主的监管透明，

我们呼吁采用绿色可再生能源运行PoW机制！

比特币归零！

如果说PoW是比特币的灵魂，

也是去中心化，人类能够Peer-to-Peer成为可能的唯一机制，

那么比特币即使不能保留PoW机制，而不得已转向PoS机制时，

PoS也是加密货币的一种重要发明，

无论如何，我们应继续呼吁和推动加密货币，

全面地升级到抗量子计算机破解算法！

以实现算法现代化。

在算法现代化的过程中，

都会重新反复地出现，

改变人类社会的，万亿美元级的重新架构机会！

直立行走，从来不是人类的目的，星辰大海才是！
PoW和PQC这两者，是人类社会未来近千年的星辰大海，

是所有人的理想国！

在人类的第四个世界量子日里，再次地，

让我们一起呼吁和警醒：

比特币归零！

比特币必须归零！

Manifest of Bitcoin-To-Zero!

Bitcoin is being to ZERO! It's April 14th, 2024, today, It's already the annual fourth global World Quantum Day!

As of the fourth World Quantum Day today, the world has become conscious of quantum technology, and the number of people who have got quantum awareness, and consciousness, should have reached around 20 million.

The past few decades have been the era of the electronic computer which utilized electronic phenomena in physics to compute; Quantum computers, on the other hand, make calculations using quantum phenomena in physics, marking a new era of quantum computing that may last for several hundred, or even thousands of years. Until humanity invents or discovers a new kind of physical particle phenomenon other than electronics and quantum to carry out computations, the next millennia will be quantum times!

Humanity has actually entered the era of the quantum computer!

Over the past decade or so, coinciding with the release of Bitcoin, there have been successive qualitative leaps and advancements in quantum computing research and development worldwide, which led to the global trend, led by the United States beginning in 2022, demanding that nearly all internet, cloud, data, government, and financial systems migrate to quantum-resistant, or PQC, by 2030, or 2033, or at the latest by 2035!

It's actually only 7 years! Tick-Tock!

Migrating to quantum-resistant represents the largest global cryptographic algorithm upgrade and migration in history. It's the most significant step in the "modernization of cryptography algorithms"!

If all cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, do not upgrade to quantum-resistant in time like the global internet, cloud, data, government, and financial systems, it would be inconceivable! It would lead to the complete dispersion of Bitcoin consensus, the collapse of that consensus, and perhaps an exponential decline to zero, or even a complete fall to zero!

Unfortunately, as one of the world's top teams of researchers, learners, and educators in quantum-resistant, our judgment from years of repeated testing and discussion is that: Even if Bitcoin still exists in the decades to come, the complete and successful migration to quantum-resistant will be a very difficult, almost a mission impossible!

In fact, Bitcoin is nearly the most difficult digital currency to fully upgrade to quantum-resistant!

For the average person, recognizing these four simple, easy-to-understand facts or reasons, makes it relatively easy to understand: Why Bitcoin is the hardest digital currency to fully upgrade to quantum-resistant:

1st:

Upgrading all cryptocurrencies to quantum-resistant requires users to manually execute software and hardware operations at their terminal by tapping on the keyboard, a process known as "ship-jumping".

Users have to proactively upgrade manually, and obviously, the more users there are, the more difficult the upgrade becomes; 

Bitcoin, having the most addresses and users compared to other digital currencies, faces the largest upgrade challenge; 

And for all digital currencies, the more they postpone or delay the migration, the more users accumulate, making it relatively even more difficult to upgrade completely.
Thus, it is essential to upgrade as early as possible to maximize the number of users that can migrate successfully.

2nd:
To date, there are only 3 types of quantum-resistant digital signature algorithms that can be possibly used for Bitcoin migration: 

Multivariate signatures, Hash-based signatures, and Lattice-based signatures.

It usually takes around 20 to 30 years for a new algorithm to be discovered, developed, improved, and refined over the past decades; therefore, even in the decades to come, these 3 types of potentially quantum-resistant algorithms that could be mature, stable, and used possbily for Bitcoin would remain limited.

3rd:
All quantum-resistant digital signatures have very large public keys size, or large signatures length, a situation that will not see substantial qualitative changes or improvements for many decades to come.

BitcoinCore developers should not expect shorter signatures or public keys, or significant improvements in various features; Fortunately, the current quantum-resistant digital signaturews at least meet the maximum quantum-safe requirements currently discernible.

4th:
All Proof-of-Work PoW cryptocurrencies must send their public key and signature across the whole network during any outward transaction for calculation and verification.

If we call the sum of the lengths of the public key and signature used in any signature running under PoW, the Broadcasting Unit Size or BUS, the larger the BUS and the smaller the block capacity, the more easily the network becomes congested.

When using any type of quantum-resistant algorithm for outward transactions under PoW, the BUS is many times that of the currently used Elliptic Curve Digital Signature ECC256 Schnorr in Bitcoin.

To be precise, under the assumption of security level 1, among the aforementioned 3 types of quantum-resistant signatures; the BUS of the lattice signature is 20 or 40 times that of the elliptic curve signature BUS currently used in Bitcoin; The hash-based signature's BUS is 200 times greater, and the Multivariate signature's BUS is as high as 2000 times.

Using just some simple multiplication and division, it can be easily calculated that, if Bitcoin maintains its current 1MB block size, since Bitcoin's current peak transaction rate is 7 transactions per second, then using any of the aforementioned 3 quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms, its regular peak transaction number would be:

With a 20-fold lattice-based signature BUS, after the adoption, the peak would be about one transaction every 20/7 seconds, which means each transaction would take roughly 3 seconds;
Similarly, if Bitcoin adopts a 40-fold BUS lattice-based signature for quantum-proof, each transaction will take 40/7 seconds, which means a peak of about 6 seconds per transaction;
Similarly, if using any hash-based signature with a 200-fold BUS for quantum-secure each transaction will take 200/7 seconds, which means a peak of about 30 seconds per transaction;
Similarly, if using any multivariate signature with a 2000-fold BUS for quantum resistant, each transaction will take 2000/7 seconds, which means a peak of about 300 seconds per transaction;

It's crucial to note: this regular peak does not account for the abnormally high peak that occurs when "ship-jumping", when massive volumes of new addresses are created very quickly by numerous users, and the entire network broadcasts extraordinarily large public keys or signatures using quantum resistant signature, resulting in a "non-normal peak," This sort of "non-normal peak" would cause a systemic and comprehensive network congestion.

After calculations, if Bitcoin maintains a 1MB block space, even under regular conditions, completing the upgrade migration for all Bitcoin addresses could potentially take up to 20 years!

This explains why any newly built system must adopt quantum-resistant signatures from the outset. because new systems that start with quantum-resistant don't need to consider the special circumstances of massive user activity during "ship-jumping," Directly implementing quantum-resistant in a newly built system is obviously easier than refitting an existing system that has not yet adopted such an algorithm!

The efficiency of transactions within a 1MB block space is unimaginably low! it essentially means that: Even if Bitcoin adopts any quantum-resistant, if such quantum-resistant signature is not specially processed, it would be impossible to continue running long-term Proof-of-Work under 1MB block space!

Further, we have summarized the five obstacles to upgrading Bitcoin to quantum-resistant, with the 1st obstacle being the block size. We refer to this 1st obstacle as the concept of "The Trilemma of bitcoin migration to quantum resistant":

That is to say, Bitcoin cannot, while upgrading to any quantum-resistant signature, allow the majority of its users to complete the upgrade, and at the same time maintain the Proof-of-Work continuously under the 1MB premise. If Bitcoin migrates to quantum-resistant, to transition as many existing Bitcoin users as possible, if we aim to maintain long-term Proof-of-Work with the largest possible consensus, we must give up the 1MB block size!

Taking into account that Bitcoin has the largest number of users, and considering the exceptionally high peaks when massive users "ship-jumping", Bitcoin's block size should be significantly increased to 256MB, which might feasibly permit within a certain period as many users as possible to upgrade to the new quantum-resistant on a global discursive basis.

The 2nd obstacle in upgrading Bitcoin to quantum-resistant is: Regardless of which quantum-resistant is used, it cannot long-term run Proof-of-Work, unless employing a "Zipcodinization with Multivariate", called Z&M, in essence, requires placing the very large public key of the multivariate signature on an earlier block height, similar to "Zip-code".

"Zipcodinization with Multivariate", Z&M, is the only way, even in the next several decades,  that offers both quantum resistant and long-term running Proof-of-Work with the highest consensus possibility. that's the point!

This Z&M has been operating on a blockchain named Raqcoin since its release in 2018. Bitcoin should refer to Raqcoin's tested and mature method and become the 2nd to use this "Z&M" approach, adopting Multivariate signatures to be quantum resistant, to maintain the PoW mechanism with stability and the largest consensus likelihood over the long-term, or the 3rd one to use Z&M!

However, the 3rd obstacle to Bitcoin upgrading to quantum-resistant is that: Upgrading to any quantum-resistant requires Bitcoin to take a step backwards to its status several years ago, such as returning to pre-2015 Bitcoin, since none of these 3 types of quantum-resistant support fully the technological path taken after 2015. the concept, definition, and especially the execution details of this regressed state of pre-2015 Bitcoin require prompt and transparent public discussions step by step by the global Bitcoin community.

In addition, the 4th possible obstacle to Bitcoin's upgrade to quantum-resistant is: Bitcoin need replace the current SHA256 hash-mining with solving Multivariate formula equation mining, to decentralize more feasibly, carry more social and mathematically meaningful;

And the 5th possible obstacle is: Bitcoin ought to change the current halving of supply every four years, to a reduction of 25%, or 10% or even less every four years, to persist as a cryptocurrency for nearly a thousand years.

But, even if all the above 5 incredibly tough obstacles could be overcome, executed, and resolved. It would still be difficult to solve the issues associated with approximately 6 million long-term inactive, idle, or passphrase-lost Bitcoin addresses and whether these addresses need upgrading and how to upgrade them.

The most likely approach to quickly resolve the above obstacles is for the Bitcoin community, individuals, groups, and organizations concerned with cryptocurrencies, to commence a full, public, transparent, and extensive discussion ASAP, to come up with an openly workable solution.

If we do not do so, what would be the severity of the Bitcoin situation?

It is certain that in this year, 2024, NIST of USA will essentially have completed the determination of all quantum-resistant algorithms, and while their characteristics for the application scenario of cryptocurrencies are not yet rich and mature, but they basically meet the needs, especially the minimum usable scenario for Bitcoin. We should fully support the adoption of these peer-reviewed algorithms to retrofit Bitcoin or apply them to newly established cryptocurrencies, even if these algorithms are used on new forked chains of Bitcoin.

It can also be affirmed that around 2030, almost all major global internet systems, cloud systems, data systems, and global governments and financial systems will have either mostly or already completed migration to quantum-resistant.

Additionally, a basic judgment we can make is: If by 2030, the Bitcoin community cannot discuss globally, transparently, and urgently the practical and feasible solution to migrating to quantum-resistant, then as more and more people become aware of the necessity and urgency to migrate to quantum-resistant, Bitcoin's consensus may begin to disperse, partially collapse, or even collapse suddenly. Leading to an exponential decline to zero.

Therefore, in view of the dire pre-warning that Bitcoin may face consensus dispersion, collapse, or even decline to zero in the next few years, we all should loudly use various channels to emit various sounds, to remind, warn, forewarn, and call for attention!

Thus, we prefer to call on the global Bitcoin and cryptocurrency community, to use the slogan loudly and clearly to sound the alarm: 

Bitcoin may become worthless! 

Bitcoin to zero!

This shock slogan of warning should be taken seriously and forewarned, it would alert all participants, promoters, policy makers, etc. in the world of cryptocurrencies,
to fully address this potential situation, to at least partially devise a workable solution that enables Bitcoin to smoothly migrate to quantum-resistant with the largest possible consensus.

Calling everyone to proclaim "Bitcoin to zero!" as a warning slogan, as a means to waken public consciousness, aims to encourage Bitcoin, in the process of algorithm modernization,
to best continue to maintain the PoW mechanism, and to successfully upgrade to quantum-resistant.

If through such appeals, Bitcoin ultimately, or even partially, successfully upgrades to quantum-resistant, it will be a miracle of successful upgrades in modern algorithm history!

"Bitcoin to zero" is an immediate means to raise awareness and achieve goals! The sages have said: 

Recognize what can be done and do it! What seems hopeless, a bold attempt, often leads to success!

If through this appeal, even with the joint efforts of global cryptocurrency participants, promoters, policy makers, etc., Bitcoin still does not upgrade to quantum-resistant even if not entirely successful, We will not regret it; we will quickly learn lessons from failure, 

if through global public and transparent discussions, Bitcoin still does not upgrade to quantum resistant, then it would be prudent to provide palliative care and management, to avert squandering humanity's confidence, resources, and credit in cryptocurrencies, and continue to desperately rescue, drag down, and waste humanity's reliance on cryptocurrencies is not worthwhile.

After all, even if Bitcoin goes to zero, it may signify that when one whale falls, myriad life forms arise!

Looking back at humanity, from walking upright to inventing the wheel, inventing the horse-drawn wagon, evolving non-stop to invent cars, trains, planes, to Musk's SpaceX reaching Mars directly, the intention of humanity has always been for better communication and transport, to reach destinations faster and more energy-efficiently, not for the sake of the vehicles themselves.

To some extent, Bitcoin is a means for humanity to actualize the Peer-to-Peer, Bitcoin itself is by no means humanity's purpose.

If Bitcoin indeed eventually becomes worthless, it has also paved a certain degree of new possibility for a global quantum computing era that may persist for hundreds of years,
potentially operating a cryptocurrency minted through Proof-of-Work for centuries to come!

Bitcoin may become worthless!

Once again, we urge the global cryptocurrency community to discuss as broadly and transparently as possible: How to upgrade Bitcoin to quantum-resistant, how to overcome various upgrade obstacles; 

Don't waste time or wait, just do it right this moment!

As new projects are easier to implement with quantum-resistant than retrofitting projects, we call from now on, for new projects to adopt quantum-resistant as much as possible;
We also urge all existing cryptocurrencies, even if they are not as difficult to upgrade as Bitcoin, to upgrade to quantum-resistant ASAP, and as much as possible!
We urge the running of the PoW mechanism on green, renewable energy!

Bitcoin to zero!

If PoW is the soul of Bitcoin, also the only mechanism that makes decentralization and Peer-to-Peer possible for humanity, then even if Bitcoin cannot retain the PoW mechanism and has to shift to the PoS mechanism out of necessity, PoS is also an important invention in cryptocurrency.

Regardless, we should continue to appeal and promote the upgrading of cryptocurrencies, to migrate to quantum-resistant comprehensively! To achieve the modernization of algorithms.

In the process of algorithm modernization, there will be repeated, game-changing, trillion-dollar restructuring opportunities for human society!

Walking upright was never humanity's goal, the stars and oceans are! 

Both PoW and PQC, these two, represent the stars and oceans of human society for the near millennium, the Utopia for all!

On humanity's 4th World Quantum Day, let's once again call for awareness and vigilance:

Bitcoin to zero!!!
