Ryan Sean Adams

Bankless Nation, got to let you know, none of this has been financial advice, although I do think it was some career advice in here for sure.

You could list what you put in, but we are headed west.

This is the frontier.

It's not for everyone, but we're glad you're with us on the bankless journey.

Thanks a lot.

Wow.

That's impressive continuity.

So a year ago, we had you on with Scott Aronson, who is kind of a godfather in this space of quantum as well.

And we asked him questions about kind of when Q Day and is a good definition of Q Day, Justin, that that's the day in which quantum computers can break our signature schemes like ECDSA.

Is that what Q Day actually means?

Okay.

I recall him saying he was kind of hedging at that time.

This was a year ago.

This was, I think, in January 2025.

And he said within 10 years, we should have useful fault tolerant quantum computers.

But he was very careful to say that doesn't mean that we would be breaking, able to break ECDSA.

And generally, he wouldn't commit to a date because he said it was a staggeringly hard engineering problem.

I have noticed that his tone has changed a little bit over the past year.

And indeed, he's actually joined some organizations and foundations to help cryptocurrencies navigate quantum.

It seems like maybe his thinking has changed on this.
