It can be tech-related or not. So far we’ve had the .com bubble, Bitcoin bubble, NFT bubble and now AI (probably) bubble. What do you think the next bubble will be?

    It can be marketed that way, but mathematically, a LOT of encryption that’s used is already “quantum proof”.

    Of course nothing is perfect, but we’re pretty confident that the existence of quantum computers won’t break the internet.

      Oh yeah, to be clear, it’ll break incredibly old and weak encryption, which is already not that hard to break.

      I think quantum will have some cool specific use cases in science and math modeling, but will be over hyped like the AI bubble as a total game changer.
