MIT labs and Google announce theyve spent two years on their quantum computers doing a 'joint study on the bitcoin blockchain' and that they cracked the seed phrases for all addresses with more than 250,000 sats.
In the authors' opinions, blockchain as a technology is groundbreaking, except bitcoin is too slow and is not quantum resistant. Therefore, they argue, a new Google-backed chain which is written in Go and uses the new Google-sponsored 'open' quantum cryptographic library is a superior alternative for all applications previously assumed by bitcoin

google is effectively an arm of the nsa. they could create hundreds of addresses to say their computers havecracked them. once a narrative is in the current zeitgeist it tends to stick around for a while

We will ask for proof, such as sign a known Satoshi utxo, let's see if nsa can do what Craig Wright could not do. Without that, tick tock next block™.
