from Stonks Go Moon · host Rocco Strydom
Welcome to the Stonks Go Moon Podcast with your host, Rocco Strydom! In this episode, we dive deep into one of the biggest existential threats facing Web3: quantum computing.Our guest is Ian Smith, CEO and CTO of Quantum EVM — a pioneering company at the forefront of building quantum-resistant blockchain infrastructure. With a background in cryptography, quantum theory, and decades of cybersecurity expertise, Ian is on a mission to help Web3 survive the coming quantum wave.In this fast-paced conversation, we break down:What quantum computing actually is (with a little help from a children's book!)Why today's blockchains could be cracked like glass when quantum hitsHow far away "Q-Day" really is (hint: it’s sooner than you think)How governments, companies — and China — are racing for quantum supremacyWhy traditional finance is already "post-quantum" while blockchain lags dangerously behindWhat Quantum EVM is building to protect decentralized ecosystems before it’s too lateBillions are being poured into an arms race where the winner could own — or destroy — major parts of the financial system. And blockchain, surprisingly, is the most vulnerable target.If you want to understand the real risks — and what can still be done — this episode is a must-listen.🔗 Learn more about Quantum EVM:Website: quantumevvm.comX (Twitter): @IanSmith_HSATelegram: https://t.me/quantumevmExplore the podcast
