.@BlackRock just published a paper on quantum computing and blockchains.

Not a footnote in an ETF filing. A named research paper from their Head of Digital Assets.

Worth reading what they actually said.

A thread🧵

[Antonio Gomes @onchainantonio]

@BlackRock 5. When the world's largest asset manager tells the market the transition needs to happen, and identifies the governance bottleneck as the main risk, that is a signal worth taking seriously.

Chains that were built post-quantum from the start do not have a transition to manage.

CZ says Bitcoin may eventually need to freeze Satoshi's coins.

His reasoning:

"If we don't do anything, we're basically giving them to somebody who's going to hack it."

He suggested giving Satoshi a 12-month window to move the coins after a quantum-resistant upgrade.

If they don't...

"On the new protocol, there will be like only 20 million coins because we're just going to lock them."

It's a controversial idea.

But it's also a reminder that Bitcoin's biggest long-term risks may not come from markets...

They could come from technology.

🚨 The US government just put quantum at the center of national strategy.

Trump signed 2 executive orders, one to build a quantum computer by 2028, one to rip classical cryptography out of every federal system by 2031.

Here's what @realDonaldTrump signed 👇

Order 1: a cryptographically-relevant quantum computer by 2028

→ Led by the Department of Energy

→ Sensors, networks, workforce, supply chains behind it
Order 2: every federal system migrated to post-quantum cryptography

→ High-value by 2030, high-impact by 2031

→ Four years faster than the old deadline

→ Contractors included

The stated reason: harvest now, decrypt later.

We are at the same point with quantum that we were with AI a few years ago. The moment just before the curve goes vertical.

The difference: quantum cuts both ways. Breakthroughs in medicine, materials, and energy we cannot yet imagine. And the power to break the cryptography securing the financial system, state secrets, and the entire industry Bitcoin pioneered.

You don't move your own security deadline up four years unless the clock is shorter than people think.

This isn't hype. The funding, the hardware, and now the policy all point the same way.

Early innings. Pay attention.

The race to quantum-proof blockchains is on.

Who will emerge as the leader in building the next generation of secure, resilient decentralized systems?

The answer will shape the future of finance, data integrity, and digital trust in a quantum world. 🔮

🌐 The risk to blockchains from quantum computing is real:

- The NSA is already storing encrypted data.
- Google's quantum computer solved in 200 seconds what would take a classical computer 10,000 years.
- The US, EU, and China are investing billions into quantum research.

The quantum threat is a wake-up call for the entire blockchain ecosystem.

Pioneers are already working on solutions.

In this space, adaptability is key to survival.

Stay ahead or risk being left in quantum's shadow.

@FischerKing64 So sad to agree with this. My dream was to live in SF after graduating from Florida; I visited and was in love with the city and saw how epic it was to live there in the 80s and 90s...

> Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated.

With AI learning tools there’s no excuse to not be technical. Someone vibe coding should be able to randomly sample their code and explain how it works line by line

@andyyy I like how he is so unmotivated and bearish in the whole DeFi, despite the fact that he made a fortune. Chapter 8 intelligent investor references this clearly; markets get ahead of themselves, and that was 21/22.
