AI, Quantum, and the End of Encryption as We Know It...

We built the blockchain on the assumption that math is hard. Specifically, that the encryption securing your wallet (like RSA or ECC) would take a supercomputer millions of years to crack.

But what happens when the math gets easy?

We are staring down the barrel of two converging forces:

The Brute Force (Quantum): Quantum computers don't just "guess faster"; they fundamentally change the math. A sufficiently powerful quantum machine could theoretically turn your private key into public knowledge in hours, not eons.
The Master Key (AI): While Quantum batters the door, AI is learning to pick the lock. AI agents are already scanning smart contracts 24/7, finding zero-day exploits faster than any human auditor can patch them.

So, is crypto dead?

No.

It’s just molting.

The same tech that threatens the chain will likely save it. We are already seeing "Post-Quantum Cryptography" (PQC) and AI-driven "immune systems" that detect hacks in real-time.

The danger isn’t extinction. The danger is apathy. If we assume the current code is "good enough" for the next decade, we will lose.

The Question: Do you think legacy chains (like Bitcoin) will successfully hard-fork to quantum-resistance in time, or will this spark the greatest wealth transfer in history to new, native-quantum chains?
