Crypto’s Quantum Doomsday Clock Ticks Faster as Governance Lags
Blockchain’s bureaucratic crawl might as well roll out a welcome mat for quantum hackers.
While Wall Street’s algo-traders obsess over nanosecond latencies, crypto’s decision-making moves at dial-up speeds—just as quantum computing leaps toward breaking today’s encryption. The irony? Banks will probably buy quantum-resistant blockchains before decentralized networks finish debating them.
Here’s the brutal truth: Every governance proposal stuck in DAO purgatory gives quantum advantage researchers another month to crack SHA-256 like a walnut. But hey, at least the ’wen moon’ crowd gets to vote on emoji reactions first.
