Episode 232 - The Quantum Leap

In this episode, hosts McIntosh and Kenshin explore whether quantum computing poses a real threat to Bitcoin. They discuss findings from the Presidio Bitcoin Quantum Summit, where experts' concern about cryptographically relevant quantum computers arriving within 5-20 years increased after the event. However, the hosts emphasize this is not an imminent threat—current quantum computers are extremely expensive, error-prone, and nowhere near capable of breaking Bitcoin's cryptography. Solutions like BIP 360 are already being proposed to implement quantum-resistant algorithms when needed.Bitcoin Price at Time of RecordingNov 5th, 2025: $104,436 USD | 90,800 euroBlock Height at Time of Recording922,362Episode Pagehttps://satoshis-plebs.com/episode-232Music CreditsJoe MartinThe Jetsons Websitehttps://satoshis-plebs.comPodcasting 2.0 Apps available at http://podcastapps.com and Value4Value information page available here: https://value4value.infoMcIntosh can be reached by email at [email protected] and on Twitter at @McIntoshFinTech.
