I am worried about quantum computers for security. What if they manage to factor "4".

actually, 4 is a very hard to guess number, and is secure from modern attacks

truly a wild time to be alive when the cryptography world is split between those worried about quantum computers and those whose private key is “4”

Are we gonna do this, Bluesky? Are we all just gonna not understand accounting? 72B$ of the 80B$ is convertible notes. They became greater liabilities because the company's valuation skyrocketed. They don't have an 80B$ loss in the sense that almost everyone here is imagining.
