Charles Guillemet, CTO of Ledger, and Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol, join Laura Shin to debunk the “harvest now, decrypt later” myth for blockchain, explain why an exposed public key is a real risk whether or not it ever touches the chain, and lay out the three brutal options for Bitcoin’s dormant Satoshi-era coins under quantum threat: do nothing, freeze them forever, or freeze and tail-emit new BTC to compensate

Illia and Charles also get into why Bitcoin’s fluid, leaderless governance makes reaching consensus on any of it so hard.
