Why Your Passwords, Banks, and Bitcoin Could All Be Gone Overnight | Ep. 258 with Eric Dresdale Founder of Entrokey Labs
18 Aug 2025
Quantum computing isn’t science fiction anymore—it’s an arms race. Eric Dresdale joins us to explain why the world is on the verge of a cryptographic collapse that could make every password, bank account, and crypto wallet obsolete overnight. With governments pouring billions into quantum, and AI acting as the scalpel to quantum’s sledgehammer, Eric reveals why most companies are dangerously unprepared—and how his team at Entrokey Labs believes they’ve built the only viable path forward. Key Discussion Points: The terrifying reality of “Q-Day” and why current encryption will crumble in seconds How AI and quantum combined could unleash chaos across grids, hospitals, banks, and governments The trillion-dollar problem no one is talking about—and why businesses are asleep at the wheel Why entropy (randomness) is the hidden foundation of cybersecurity, and how Entrokey is reinventing it What Cambridge University discovered when they studied Entrokey’s tech How Eric went from fintech founder to solving one of humanity’s biggest digital threats The race between governments, banks, and startups to secure the post-quantum internet Why prevention—not reaction—is the only option in this arms race Takeaways: Quantum computing will break all current encryption within the decade—possibly by 2027 Companies can’t wait for regulators to act—being reactive will cost trillions AI is already exposing weaknesses in human-made passwords and systems Entropy is everything: without true randomness, security is an illusion Entrokey’s software-only approach may cut global transition costs by 90% Closing Thoughts:Eric Dresdale isn’t just warning us—he’s building a solution to the single biggest cyber threat of our lifetime.
