Crypto’s Quantum Doomsday Clock Ticks Faster as Governance Drags Its Feet
Blockchain’s bureaucratic inertia isn’t just annoying—it’s leaving the entire ecosystem wide open for quantum annihilation. While Wall Street spends millions hedging against hypothetical black swans, crypto can’t even patch a known existential threat.
Quantum computers don’t care about your DAO voting periods. The same governance paralysis that bogs down protocol upgrades could literally bankrupt the industry when quantum decryption arrives. Which, by the way, isn’t some distant sci-fi scenario—researchers predict breaking RSA-2048 by 2030.
Meanwhile, the ’move fast and break things’ crowd is too busy chasing the next memecoin pump. Priorities, people.
