Yes.
If you're left leaning, then this moment right now is the thing that is turning you into a libertarian.
Although honestly, from what I've looked at with libertarianism, like strictly, it's not the play.
Late stage empire is far less enjoyable.
The 90s were dope, y'all.
I'm just going to tell you right now.
The 80s and 90s were the shit.
It was fun.
Yeah, so what started all this is Google just reset the doomsday clock on crypto.
A couple of days ago, Google's quantum AI team dropped a white paper that should be a wake up call and quite frankly, a call to action to all my brothers and sisters in the crypto world.
The finding was pretty straightforward.
Breaking Bitcoin's encryption doesn't require the 10 million qubits that researchers previously estimated.
Google's new math puts it at roughly 500,000.
Now, that is a 20-fold reduction.
And if researchers can build a quantum computer at that scale, they would be able to crack Bitcoin transaction in approximately nine minutes.
Now, a lot of ifs around there, but nonetheless, quantum does seem to continue to make improvements on a pretty steady timescale.
So people need to snap out of whatever stupor they're in.
Bitcoin right now takes about 10 minutes to confirm a block.
So if they can crack it in nine minutes, nine is less than 10.
So quantum hackers would get the win here, boys and girls.
