Diving into the question everyone suddenly cares about: how close are quantum computers to breaking Bitcoin?Friend of the pod Matt Wraith joins us to cut through the hype, the fear, and the sci-fi headlines and explain what’s actually happening in quantum research right now, and what it means for Bitcoin security, signatures, and the long-term future of cryptography.We explore:- The theory of quantum mechanics- How quantum computers actually work- Shor's algorithm & Grover's algorithm- Quantum threat to Bitcoin- Recent advances in quantum computing- Post-quantum cryptography and quantum risk mitigation strategies for Bitcoin- Stoner bro quantum physics📞 CALL IN with your secret Maxi takes or love/markets questions: (717) 69-GMHMPSelected calls may be used in a future episode (with a voice changer to preserve toxic maxi anonymity).Get bonus content by subscribing to @hellmoneypod on X: https://x.com/hellmoneypod/creator-subscriptions/subscribeOr support the podcast by sending a BTC donation: bc1qztncp7lmcxdgude4px2vzh72p2yu2aud0eyzys ORDINALS SATSCARDS: https://shop.inscribing.com/products/ordinals-satscardTIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro, Bitcoin is in crisis, elliptic curve cryptography5:00 Shor's algorithm and quantum computers8:00 The limits and use cases for quantum computers10:45 Recent advances in quantum computers, Scott Aaronson blog post16:20 What is a quantum computer?24:00 Fault tolerance theorem, theoretical quantum physics28:30 Problems with quantum computers, analog computers35:00 Quantum computing research41:00 Red flags in quantum computing research46:45 Conspiracy theories, the qubits don't want to be trapped, the universe believes in cryptography49:00 Quantum risk mitigation strategies for Bitcoin1:08:00 Stoner bro quantum physics, fall of Atlantis, perception creates reality, many worlds hypothesis, Markov property1:27:30 Gravity, dark energy, general relativity, things that are very big and very small1:34:00 How much better is quantum than classical computing?1:39:00 What's going on with the UFOs?
