About this episode

The episode discusses the division on Wall Street regarding the threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin and other related crypto events.

Wall Street just split on the biggest threat facing Bitcoin — and it's not regulation. Goldman Sachs walked away from quantum computing research while JPMorgan doubles down with a 50-person team. Coinbase is warning the industry has 5 to 10 years before quantum machines can crack blockchain encryption, and one Bitcoin developer is already proposing a hard fork to reassign Satoshi's coins before that window closes. Meanwhile, the Fed is expected to hold rates steady in what could be Powell's final meeting as chair, DeFi is scrambling through a $300 million bailout after the Kelp DAO hack, and the Treasury just froze $344 million in crypto tied to Iran.
