Bitcoin may be doomed. What can we learn from The Quantum Resistant Ledger? With Michael Strike from The Quantum Resistant Ledger

IBM and IonQ promise approximately 1000-qubit quantum computers by 2023. What happens when we get to 2500 qubits? Will it be possible to threaten Bitcoin transactions, as well as those of other altcoins? Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis, Associate Director with Protiviti, for a chat on these topics with Michael Strike from The Quantum Resistant Ledger. The QRL is a cryptocurrency taking a post-quantum safe approach to blockchain. While BTC’s value may plummet at even the threat of quantum tampering, QRLs should remain immune. Can Bitcoin learn a thing or two and adapt? Will the value of QRL go up with the growing quantum industry?
