What I asked was for what would make your position falsifiable, in terms of time that an attack does not happen. How many decades from now do we need to wait.

My position is falsifiable, on the other hand. If a major attack, on the scale of the whole BTC network gets broken for weeks and weeks on end, then my position is falsified, as I do not think such attacks, on that large of a scale, are going to happen, therefore if one does I would be wrong.

Yours, on the other hand, does not seem to be. It seems like there is no possible timeline, for attacks on that scale failing to materialize, for which you will admit that such attacks are not coming.

I don’t disagree with your assessment though I would say the potential alone is disqualifying. I understand if you don’t. Your positions is quite consistent and compelling.
