In this episode, host Jarrett Carpenter sits down with Hunter Beast to explore the growing impact of quantum computing on Bitcoin’s security. They break down the risks posed by quantum advancements, the urgency of preparing for Q-Day—a potential scenario where quantum computers could crack Bitcoin’s cryptographic defenses—and the critical role of post-quantum cryptography.Hunter shares insights on BIP 360 and the Hourglass proposal, two key initiatives designed to safeguard Bitcoin from quantum threats. He also discusses the challenges of implementing these security measures within a decentralized and often change-resistant community. The conversation offers valuable perspectives on the current state of quantum computing, its implications for Bitcoin, and actionable steps non-technical Bitcoiners can take to stay informed and secure.
