Episode notes
Quantum computing timelines are shrinking faster than most Bitcoiners realize and the latest Google research just made the attack 20x easier. Shinobi sits down with Ethan Heilman, research fellow at MIT's DCI lab, to separate quantum panic from quantum reality. They cover Q-day timelines, why algorithmic breakthroughs are the scariest threat, and how BIP 360 and post-quantum signatures could protect the network.
