Quantum computing risk in blockchain isn’t theoretical anymore. BlackRock just flagged it — and in this episode, I sit down with Ian Smith, CEO of Quantum EVM, to unpack what that means for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the entire crypto ecosystem.

We dive into how quantum breakthroughs could shatter current cryptographic standards, why most blockchains are still vulnerable, and what’s being done to build quantum-proof infrastructure — including how Quantum EVM is designing a post-quantum future that stays Ethereum-compatible.

What we cover
-How quantum computing threatens crypto security
-Why most blockchains aren’t ready for this shift
-What makes Quantum EVM different and why it matters
-Projects that execute better than others

Quote from the episode
"If we don't migrate the cryptography, that's our fault."

Want to go deeper into the ideas behind this show?

The best place to begin is the Start Here page — where I explain how capital is quietly reshaping the financial system, and how everyday investors can align early with the infrastructure being built beneath the headlines.

If you want to go further, the next step is the Alignment Intelligence Bundle — the system I use to interpret how structural financial shifts happen before they become obvious.

🔶 Get it here:

Inside you’ll find:

• Aligned or Left Behind — the framework for understanding alignment before clarity
• The Alignment Checklist — a practical guide for identifying positioning signals
• And 30 days of Signals access, where I track the infrastructure and assets institutions are quietly building

Because in structural shifts, recognition always arrives later than alignment.

The Chip Mahoney Show delivers financial intelligence for the Digital Dollar era — helping investors, advisors, and builders stay early, not reactive.
