Friend of the pod Matt Wraith joins us to cut through the hype, the fear, and the sci-fi headlines and explain what’s actually happening in quantum research right now, and what it means for Bitcoin security, signatures, and the long-term future of cryptography. We explore: - The theory of quantum mechanics - How quantum computers actually work - Shor's algorithm & Grover's algorithm - Quantum threat to Bitcoin - Recent advances in quantum computing - Post-quantum cryptography and quantum risk mitigation strategies for Bitcoin - Stoner bro quantum physics 📞 CALL IN with your secret Maxi takes or love/markets questions: (717) 69-GMHMP Selected calls may be used in a future episode (with a voice changer to preserve toxic maxi anonymity).
