Make Bitcoin Quantum Resistant | With Hunter Beast

Is Bitcoin going to break? Don’t roll your eyes: quantum computing may be a more realistic threat to Bitcoin than you think, and it may only be a few years away. Thankfully, Bitcoin dev Hunter Beast is preparing us in advance with the thoughtful BIP 360 – an effort to bring post quantum cryptography to Bitcoin.In this episode, we discussed:- How quantum computing threatens your Bitcoin wallet- The vulnerability of Satoshi’s one million BTC - How to stay protected against quantum (for now!)- How banks and governments are preparing for quantum- BIP 360: Pay to Quantum Resistant Hash This episode is powered by Best In Slot—the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing.
