0:00.0 | I'm Tom Billu and this is Impact Theory. Let's dive right back in to part two with Michael Saylor. |
0:06.9 | Do you think that as quantum computing rises up because recently the Google made the Willow |
0:12.6 | announcement that it's able to run computation so much faster, will Bitcoin simply adopt a new security protocol? |
0:24.0 | What will that look like? |
0:25.3 | I think that that was a marketing announcement by Google. |
0:28.9 | I mean, there doesn't seem to be any single practical application for their benchmark. |
0:33.1 | So they created a quantum benchmark. |
0:34.9 | They announced that they perform well on the quantum benchmark, |
0:38.1 | but there's not any useful application for it |
0:40.3 | anywhere in the world, right? |
0:42.8 | That's the first observation. |
0:45.1 | So you might be getting concerned, |
0:47.2 | but no one's come up with anything they can do with it. |
0:51.8 | So the second, my second observation is if you create a |
0:59.0 | powerful computer, the very obvious thing you could do with it to make money is to mine Bitcoin |
1:05.9 | with it. And so the first place to use a powerful computer is to mine Bitcoin, which increases the security of the network. |
1:13.6 | My third observation is, if you really come up with a computer powerful enough to crack cryptography, |
1:22.6 | the first thing you're going to crack is Google itself, right? |
1:26.3 | Do you think that Google would sell a |
1:28.0 | computer that destroys its own network, which is kind of ironic to me, right? Like, that's also |
1:34.7 | the acid test, right? If you're going to crack the cryptography, you would actually crack the |
1:40.6 | networks that Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft run, and then you would crack every |
