JOE ROGAN: WHAT IF QUANTUM COMPUTING ENDS ENCRYPTION? “What is money essentially right now? It’s all ones and zeros, right? And what is the bottleneck? Well, the bottleneck is encryption, right? So that’s how you protect people from stealing your ones and zeros. But what if it gets to the point where we’re all using …
GOOGLE WARNS: QUANTUM COMPUTERS COULD CRACK BITCOIN MUCH FASTER THAN EXPECTED Google’s latest quantum computing research just blew a hole in old encryption timelines. It now estimates that a quantum machine with fewer than one million noisy qubits could break 2048-bit RSA encryption in under a week. That’s 20 times faster than previous forecasts and …
A new study from Google’s Quantum AI team has raised alarms about the future of Bitcoin’s encryption. Researcher Craig Gidney revealed that quantum computers could break 2048-bit RSA encryption with far fewer resources than previously estimated. While Bitcoin does not use RSA, it relies on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC), which experts warn is also vulnerable …
The Department of Education’s “sanctuary program” for illegal immigrants is a blatant violation of trust and law. They’ve been using encrypted messaging apps like Signal to evade scrutiny, hiding their activities from Congress and the public. Travis Combs’ confession is chilling—federal employees deliberately bypassing citizenship checks to avoid accountability. They know it’s wrong, and yet …
