E159: Jeff Yan, Hyperliquid CEO: Why Crypto Must Fix Finance Before AI Takes Over

Q: Can you debunk one of the biggest worries of Bitcoin people about quantum computing?
The quantum threat is yes, it's there, but I believe most of the transactions will also have some part of encryption inside them. You will either not be able to see the amount or you don't know exactly how much money is transferred.

Q: If you had to explain to your mom what is a cryptographer, what is cryptography?
It's a Greek word. Crypto means something being secret, and graph means I write. So I'm writing something in secrecy.
E155: SUI Network Founder: We Built What Ethereum and Solana Can't
Q: What's something you think Sui is uniquely bad at?
We have so many features that whenever we have presentations, we try to pack everything into 15 minutes and 20 minutes, and this is impossible now.
