donutloop··on Scorpion even goes as far as comparing IonQ’s quantum computer with Nikola
"Scorpion Capital specializes in intensive, differentiated research which uncovers what investors have missed and Wall Street is paid to ignore. Our investigations seek to “crack the case" through a persistent and thorough process for which other market participants may lack the bandwidth or inclination. We aim to publish the most rigorous due diligence conducted to date on each fraud or promote that we target."

Do you believe it?

donutloop··on We believe the 21st century will be powered by quantum computers [pdf]
"We believe the 21st century will be powered by quantum computers. We expect these machines will open the doors to an amazing new era where “smart devices” are actually smart, computers can program themselves,batteries are light and powerful enough to enable flying cars, society is able to pause or even reverse climatechange, we have cures for diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes, and with luck, reverse aging itself(which at my age, can’t come soon enough)."

"that fate is doubtful given that so much of the supply got stolen."

The fate is not doubtful because it wasn't the fault of the nano foundation nor the nano nodes. Bit-grail was the criminal entity of this accident.

Bitcoin cannot scale well enough to be used as a global currency .Consumes a huge amount of energy .Is extremely slow at processing transactions, degrading usability .Has high transaction fees, which would be even higher if it were to be more adopted .Most people in the industry do not think that Bitcoin is/can be a day-to-day currency

IOTA wants to ditch its most centralized component, but the timeline is still murky
donutloop··on Nano is what Bitcoin hoped to be
"Nano has a unique consensus mechanism called Open Representative Voting (ORV). Every account can freely choose a Representative at any time to vote on their behalf, even when the delegating account itself is offline. These Representative accounts are configured on nodes that remain online and vote on the validity of transactions they see on the network. Their voting weight is the sum of balances for accounts delegating to them, and if they have enough voting weight they become a Principal Representative. The votes these Principal Representatives send out will subsequently be rebroadcasted by other nodes.

As these votes are shared and rebroadcasted between nodes, they are tallied up and compared against the online voting weight available. Once a node sees a block get enough votes to reach quorum, that block is confirmed. Due to the lightweight nature of blocks and votes, the network is able to reach confirmation for transaction ultrafast, often in under a couple seconds. Also note that delegation of voting weight does not mean staking of any funds - the account delegating can still spend all their available funds at any time without restrictions.

Because Nano accounts can freely delegate their voting weight to representatives at any time, the users have more control over who has power with consensus and how decentralized the network is. This is a key advantage to the design of Open Representative Voting (ORV). With no direct monetary incentive for nodes, this removes emergent centralization forces for longer-term trending toward decentralization of the network."

Bitcoin is not capable of scaling upwards. If the price of bitcoin reaches 1 millions us dollar. How much do i need to pay for one single transaction or how many miners do i need to keep bitcoin alive?

Government tries to fight climate change and bitcoin destroys all hard earned energy reductions. The network needs more energy then a whole country (today). I don't want imaging how much energy it will consume in 10 years.
