In this episode of The Long-Short, we speak with Bill Laboon, Vice President, Technical Operations at Web3 Foundation, to explore the looming collision between quantum computing and blockchain technology. They discuss why Google's plan to migrate to post-quantum cryptography by 2029 is a wake-up call, how advances in quantum computing could threaten cryptocurrencies, and why the transition to quantum-resistant systems presents both technical and social challenges. With large portions of Bitcoin and Ethereum potentially vulnerable, are investors and the crypto industry prepared for the next great technological shift? And how far away is the quantum threat really? Hosted on Acast.
