Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Building Blocks: A Conversation with Natalie Brunell
Q: What inspired you to go from TV journalism to focusing on Bitcoin?
A realization that money and economics affect everyday lives, plus a passion for education and empowering people with a system that's transparent, borderless, and censorship-resistant.
Countdown to Q-Day: What Quantum Could Mean for Crypto
Q: Which parts of cryptography are most at risk from quantum threats
Asymmetric cryptography, including wallet signatures and ECDSA, is most at risk, while hashing functions and symmetric encryption are comparatively safer; the focus is on updating wallet keys and signatures.
Countdown to Q-Day: What Quantum Could Mean for Crypto
Q: What is the current consensus on how soon quantum threats could impact crypto
The consensus is cautiously optimistic about progress, with a worst-case timeline around 2028 for cryptographically relevant quantum computers, but practical readiness depends on improvements in logical qubits, error correction, and adoption of post-quantum measures.
Overdue Process: The Future of Finance with Amanda Wick
Q: What were the biggest aha moments from your prosecutor days that still shaped the way you think about crypto?
A key takeaway was the understanding of intent; whether individuals knew how their technology would be used and how that impacts legal accountability.
Overdue Process: The Future of Finance with Amanda Wick
Q: How can the travel rule actually enable adoption instead of just adding friction?
A good travel rule compliance program can build trust among banks and institutions, enabling them to adopt crypto more readily.
