About this episode
Hunter Beast is a Bitcoin researcher focused on mitigating the risks quantum computing may pose to Bitcoin.
In this episode, we discuss the potential threat quantum computers pose to Bitcoin’s cryptographic security, whether Q-Day—the moment when quantum computers can break Bitcoin’s encryption—is an imminent reality, and how governments and institutions are preparing for this future. We also get into Hunter’s Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, BIP 360, which aims to introduce post-quantum cryptography to Bitcoin and the broader implications of quantum advancements, from national security to the possibility of a quantum arms race.
