My Actifit Report Card: December 29 2024 - Will Quantum Computing H...

Our friend Hive account@heiditravels who is behind the Crypto Tips YouTube channel with her husband Toby just dropped a video about quantum computers and Bitcoin. The video is just 13 hours old and already has over 7K views. Crypto Tips is a popular crypto YouTube channel with over 228K subscribers.

So Heidi says you may have heard that quantum computers will soon be able to kill Bitcoin but she says it won't happen any time soon.

You should watch this 5 minute video yourself so you can understand her thinking. But I'll give a brief summary here.

First, quantum computers are no where near having the capability to figure out your keys or mess with locked data. Even assuming double ability each year it will take 13 years to reach that capability.

Second, keys can be secured by using best practices. And Bitcoin security can be upgraded to stay ahead of new threats.

Third, quantum computer abilities won't just be a problem for Bitcoin. Banks and governments use similar encryption and they will also be finding ways to achieve quantum resistant systems.

Just a word on this video's esthetic quality. I like the black and white theme with Heidi's background and outfit being in contrast to her blonde hair which is the only color in here. Lately she and Toby have been recording outdoors is really scenic places but it's also a small distraction. This video has a clean set where we can focus on the message as we appreciate Heidi's professional presentation.

My Activity

today wasn't much. I think I ate too much over the Christmas holiday and tried too many different things that might have affected my system. Also I got a flue shot and I have some mild symptoms from that.

So I didn't get out for a walk. This number is just from random daily motion. I almost hit 5K. Almost but not quite. Hopefully tomorrow is twice as nice!
