And I think it would, you know, send a very strong message and kind of be a very natural security shutting point for the world to migrate over to Ethereum.
And not only is it an opportunity for Ethereum to distinguish itself relative to its peers, but it's also an opportunity for Ethereum to become the best version of itself.
And this goes back to the idea of
The move to post-quantum essentially being a rewrite and that being a massive opportunity to start with a clean slate and wipe out technical debt.
One interesting data point here is that the OG beacon chain launched in 2020 and the design of it was frozen one year before in 2019.
So if and when we ship, hopefully when we ship lean consensus, the lean beacon chain in 2029, we're going to be upgrading something that is 10 years old.
And as you know, in crypto, 10 years is an eternity.
We've learned so much that the lean beacon chain is going to be very, very different from the OG beacon chain.
And you can think of it as kind of being proof of stake 2.0.
But as you said, there's this very strange coincidence where 2032 seems to be the year where computing in general reaches the singularity.
People have been talking about AI singularity potentially even before 2032.
There's AI 2027, which is a very, very famous write-up.
I don't think we'll have super intelligence in 2027.
But I think it's likely that we'll have it by 2032.
We're already starting to see just yesterday, you know, Kapafi, one of the AI OGs, starting to have AIs recursively improve themselves autonomously, which is like extremely scary.
And this is basically the thing that should start the exponential, at least many people believe should start the exponential towards superintelligence.
We have 2032 as potentially that being Q-Day when we have these crocs, these cryptographically relevant quantum computers.
And we also have 2032 where Bitcoin will have
what I believe it's final halving.
And I believe it's, you could call it B-day, right?
