Google Quantum Computing Is A Major Threat To Crypto: Joe Rogan

The cryptocurrency news today feature Joe Rogan, the famous stand-up comedian who seems to have gotten serious this time and talked about crypto – more specifically, the potential of Google’s so-called “quantum supremacy” in a recent YouTube podcast with the comedian Roseanne Barr. The topic of the Google Quantum computing was brought up when Barr predicted the future economy being cashless, stating:

“There’s not going to be any more money. I just don’t think there’s going to be any more money.”

To this, Joe Rogan started thinking about the subject and asked Barr if she had heard of Google quantum computing. Then, he summarized the potential threat that it poses to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and said:

“This Google quantum computing thing– they think it’s a huge threat to cryptocurrency. I’m too stupid to understand whether or not they’re right. But what they’re trying to say is there would be no way to encode or encrypt this information that would keep it from this insane computing power they’re developing.”

To this, Barr said that “there is a way to get around all of it” and replied with total confidence that there are countermeasures to quantum computing. She even noted that “autistic people” can come up with solutions:

“I’m on the autism spectrum. And a lot of us autistic people, we just started talking to each other on the Internet quite a while ago. About like hey, let’s try to envision solutions to every day problems that actually people face, and that threaten them, and see what we can come up with. And there’s whole websites about it.”

As we saw from the latest crypto news, Joe Rogan seems confident in the Google quantum computing thing – and Barr is definitely in line with his comments. You can watch the entire podcast below.

Meanwhile, a new paper by Google regarding the Google quantum computing abilities was published on a NASA website earlier this week – but was taken down soon, mainly for review before final publication.

The claim that worried most people in the crypto industry was the one showing that Google quantum computing is a system that can perform computational tasks in200 seconds – something that would take 10,000 years for a super computer.
