Now, Google confirmed it's not just Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, all of them would be vulnerable.
Google set a 2029 deadline for migration to post-quantum cryptography, a date that's ahead of the NSA's 2031 target and the broader U.S.
government's 2035 benchmark.
So people are going to have to like take some smelling salts, get moving a little bit faster.
Google is basically just trying to warn people, listen, the window is shorter than anyone thought that it was.
So take action.
Now, if you're in crypto like I am, the good news is that the fix already exists.
So post-quantum encryption has been in the works for a while, but blockchains are decentralized.
So there's no one that can just flip a switch.
It is.
The decentralization thing has its pluses and minuses, but it ultimately becomes like an extreme cat herding endeavor.
So it could be a little bit trickier than most people are expecting.
Getting every network wallet, every protocol to upgrade on time is going to be a coordination problem that the crypto community is going to have to solve if they want to avoid calamity.
So right now, this is not something that I'm losing sleep over.
I'm probably far more excited and intrigued by how well quantum computing is going.
Remember,
Quantum computing basically says this.
Oh, you live in the multiverse.
The multiverse is real.
And we can prove it by doing a bunch of math that requires the multiverse to be real for us to do the math this quickly.
