Will Quantum Computers Break Bitcoin? A Deep Dive into Crypto’s Biggest Security Challenge Quantum computing is no longer a distant prospect; it’s a reality. In this episode, co-host Michael Blaschke explores two significant developments that are impacting the relationship between quantum computing and blockchain: Google’s 105-qubit Willow chip and Ethereum’s proactive initiative for quantum resistance, known as "The Splurge." Based on insights from his recent study at the FERI Cognitive Finance Institute, titled "Quantenzeitalter: Quantencomputing als Gamechanger für Finanz- und Realwirtschaft," Michael discusses the implications of quantum computing for both traditional finance and the cryptocurrency sector. The episode simplifies complex quantum concepts, highlighting how quantum computing poses both challenges and opportunities for traditional finance and crypto. Key topics include: Understanding Google’s Willow chip and its breakthrough capabilities The fundamental differences between quantum and classical computing How quantum computers could theoretically break current cryptographic systems Bitcoin’s existing defense mechanisms against quantum threats The crypto community’s response and preparation strategies Vitalik Buterin’s vision for a quantum-resistant Ethereum Practical implications for investors, institutions, and developers Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n'Roll Website Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n'Roll Telegram Channel FERI press release “Quantum computing: game changer for a new information age” Michael’s analysis “Quantenzeitalter: Quantencomputing als Gamechanger für Finanz- und Realwirtschaft” published by FERI as a Cognitive Comment in German Recent post by Vitalik Buterin: “Possible futures of the Ethereum protocol, part 6: The Splurge" Google press release “Meet Willow, our state-of-the-art quantum chip” Research paper “Quantum Attacks on Bitcoin, and How to Protect Against Them” Relai*: Buy Bitcoin with Relai – you can do a one-time purchase or savings plan: Click here.

We explore why the FDP has included the Bitcoin reserve initiative in their election program The concept of a "strategic Bitcoin reserve" is gaining increasing international significance. What Donald Trump brought up in the US election campaign is now being seriously considered by a growing number of nations - including Brazil, Japan, Russia, and China alongside the US. The Czech Central Bank recently marked a milestone by becoming the first of its kind to officially announce plans to evaluate Bitcoin investments. Against this backdrop, the new episode of Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n'Roll focuses on whether and how nations and central banks should use Bitcoin as a strategic reserve - a topic now also taken up by the FDP in the current German federal election campaign. Co-hosts Jonas Gross and Michael Blaschke discuss this with FDP member of parliament Frank Schäffler, who champions Bitcoin, crypto, and digital asset topics in the Bundestag like few others. How does the FDP envision a Bitcoin reserve? The specific proposal suggests that the German Bundesbank and the European Central Bank (ECB) should diversify their currency reserves through Bitcoin. The Bundesbank's current gold reserves of 140 billion euros serve as a reference point. Schäffler emphasizes that this is a political appeal, as central banks remain independent in their investment decisions. Implementation would occur through active, systematic new acquisitions. Should the German state also buy Bitcoin according to the FDP's vision? You'll find out in the episode. What are the challenges? Schäffler sees the biggest challenges in convincing the "establishment" and central banks. While ECB President Lagarde currently rejects Bitcoin investments, Schäffler considers it progress that the topic is being discussed at this level at all. He points to the positive developments of recent years: from the first tax recognition in 2013 to today's broad social acceptance of Bitcoin. What other challenges exist? You'll find out in the episode. Enjoy the Episode!

Julian’s journey to becoming one of the most successful Bitcoin entrepreneurs in Europe In this episode of Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n'Roll (BFRR), we speak with Julian Liniger, CEO and co-founder of Relai, about his mission to make Bitcoin accessible to everyone. Julian, a young Swiss entrepreneur, launched Relai in 2020 with the goal of simplifying Bitcoin investments. By 2025, Relai has grown into one of Europe’s leading Bitcoin companies, serving approximately 140,000 clients who purchased nearly 13,000 BTC in 2024 alone. In December, the company successfully closed a $12 million funding round led by Ego Death Capital, a renowned Bitcoin-focused venture capital firm backed by prominent figures like Jeff Booth and Lyn Alden. During the episode, Julian provides an in-depth and candid look at his journey, as well as the current state of Relai’s business. He discusses key topics such as valuation, revenues, and the company’s newly launched services: Relai Private, tailored for high-net-worth individuals, and Relai Business, designed to help small and medium enterprises acquire Bitcoin. Currently operating across several European countries, Relai is poised for further growth. The company is planning a broader European expansion and has applied for a Crypto Asset Service Provider license under the Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA). Expect to hear even more from them in the near future.

An Introduction to zero-knowledge proofs: their potential, applications, and challenges In this episode of 'Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock'n'Roll' (BFRR), we explore zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), a technological innovation helping to protect privacy in our increasingly digital world. Co-host Jonas Gross discusses with Johannes Sedlmeir, postdoctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg, how ZKPs work, their relevance, applications, and potential. They address key terminology and clarify common misconceptions. Johannes illustrates ZKPs through a simple cave analogy: Imagine being trapped in a cave with two exits and a door in the middle. As the prover, you want to demonstrate to a verifier that you can open the door by exiting on either side - without revealing how. The verifier requests you exit on different sides repeatedly. After multiple successful attempts, the verifier becomes convinced you possess the secret without ever seeing it. Johannes extends this explanation with practical examples for different audiences – e.g., adults and engineers. ZKPs have applications across numerous privacy-critical domains, including payments and identity, e.g., identification, authorization, and authentication. Recent technological advances have made many use cases practical today, while others face ongoing challenges. Which applications show the most promise and could reach billion-dollar market potential? The episode concludes with Jonas and Johannes discussing when ZKPs might become mainstream technology, operating quietly behind most digital processes. Tune in to hear their insights.

Das Host-Team blickt auf ein ereignisreiches Blockchain-Jahr zurück In der letzten Episode des Jahres 2024 versammelt sich das komplette BFRR-Team zum traditionellen Jahresrückblick. Nach 321 Episoden und im sechsten Jahr des Podcasts blicken wir auf ein außergewöhnliches Kryptojahr zurück. 2024 war geprägt von wegweisenden Entwicklungen: Die Einführung der Bitcoin-ETFs im Januar markierte einen historischen Meilenstein mit über 110 Milliarden US-Dollar Assets under Management. Die Stablecoin-Marktkapitalisierung erreichte neue Höchststände, während die SEC ihre regulatorischen Aktivitäten im DeFi-Bereich intensivierte. Wir evaluieren unsere Prognosen aus dem Vorjahr und diskutieren die wichtigsten Marktentwicklungen - von der Bitcoin-Preisentwicklung über institutionelle Adoption bis hin zu regulatorischen Veränderungen. Als besonderes Highlight kündigen wir zudem unsere Transformation zu einem englischsprachigen Format ab 2025 an. Ein besonderer Dank gilt unseren treuen Hörern, Sponsoren und dem gesamten Team, die diesen Podcast über die Jahre zu dem gemacht haben, was er heute ist. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

Ist Bitcoin-Sicherheit durch die aktuellen Fortschritte von Quantencomputern bedroht? Außerdem: Bitcoin-Reserve-Momentum und EZB-Bericht zum digitalen Euro In dieser News-Episode analysieren wir die wichtigsten Blockchain-Entwicklungen des Monats Dezember 2024. Im Fokus der Episode steht zunächst die Diskussion um die Sicherheit von Bitcoin. Zuletzt hat Googles Willow Quanten-Chip für Aufsehen gesorgt, welcher teilweise als „Durchbruch“ interpretiert wird. Ist das Bitcoin-System durch diese Willow-Fortschritte in Gefahr? Wir nehmen diese Frage für euch unter die Lupe und diskutieren, warum Quantencomputer eine Gefahr für Bitcoin sein können – und ob bereits heute eine akute Gefahr besteht. Außerdem war der Dezember klar der Monat der Diskussionen rund um staatliche Bitcoin-Reserven. Während Präsident Trump bereits angekündigt hat, in den USA eine Reserve von 1 Million Bitcoins aufbauen zu wollen, beschäftigen sich nun offiziell auch Brasilien und Russland mit dem Thema – inoffiziell auch Japan und China. Und auch im deutschen Wahlkampf ist das Thema angekommen. Die FDP ist für eine deutsche Bitcoin-Reserve offen. Wie sind diese Entwicklungen einzuordnen? Werden Bitcoin-Reserven kommen? Wir sagen es euch in der Episode. Im letzten Teil der Episode nehmen Co-Hosts Jonas Groß und Michael Blaschke Entwicklungen rund um digitale Zentralbankwährungen (CBDCs) von Seiten der Europäischen Zentralbank (EZB) unter die Lupe. Zunächst hat die EZB ihre Wholesale-CBDC Trials abgeschlossen – letztendlich kam es zu Zahlungen im Wert von 1,6 Milliarden Euro. Außerdem wurde ein weiterer Fortschrittsbericht zum digitalen Euro veröffentlicht. Wie es nun weitergeht und welche Fragen noch offen sind, diskutieren die beiden in der Episode.

How asset management embraces fund tokenization on public blockchains In this episode of Bitcoin, Fiat & Rock’n’Roll, Stefan Grasmann and Manuel Klein sit down with Martin Quensel, Co-founder of Centrifuge and Anemoy and CEO and CPO of Anemoy. First, we get to hear Martin’s impressive journey from SAP to co-founder of supply chain finance fintech Taulia –acquired by SAP in 2022 – into the blockchain industry. We then explore the mechanics of government bond tokenization and how centrifuge creates an experience that is coming as close as possible to native government bond issuance on chain. We further discuss how funds that include those treasury bonds can be created and which benefits smart contracts bring in full fund lifecycle automation. Martin further explains the competitive landscape in managing bonds, treasury bills and funds on chain and where he sees the industry developing. We further discuss the Tokenization Grand Prix from Sky (formerly dai and makerDAO), which where next to Centrifuge also big Asset Management names like Blackrock, Wisdom Tree, Franklin Templeton, Fidelity and SocGen Forge participate. This episode offers a comprehensive insight into the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology in the asset management space – namely government bond issuance and funds management. It is astonishing how the asset management area is embracing public permissionless blockchains whereas the banking industry is rather looking at private permissioned networks.
