You've had a dynamic where money has become freer than free.

0:10.0

If you talk about a Fed just gone nuts, all the central banks going nuts.

0:16.0

So it's all acting like safe haven.

0:18.0

I believe that in a world where central bankers are tripping over themselves to devalue their currency,

0:24.4

Bitcoin wins.

0:25.3

In the world of fiat currencies, Bitcoin is the victor.

0:29.2

I mean, that's part of the bold case for Bitcoin.

0:31.9

If you're not paying attention, you probably should be.

Brandon, welcome to the show, sir.

0:39.3

Thanks.

0:39.8

Good to see you, man.

0:41.7

Good to see you.

0:42.7

I'm very happy to get you on to talk about quantum, the risk, the perceived risk.

0:49.0

The perceived reality.

0:50.8

What is the reality?

0:52.4

Maybe that's where we'll start. And I'll reiterate what I was

0:58.0

saying right before I hit record, which is it's hard as somebody who's not a quantum physicist,

1:02.2

is not a cryptographer to really get a grasp of what the true reality with advances that

1:10.0

quantum computing are and specifically how they relate to

1:13.8

Bitcoin's security in the short, medium, and long term.

1:19.2

And I've watched you on the front lines of sort of debating the merits of the advancements
