Quantum Computing & Bitcoin: What’s at Stake

​Join us for an in-depth fireside chat exploring one of the most important - and misunderstood - frontiers in technology: quantum computing and its implications for Bitcoin.

​We’ll hear from:

• ​Alex Pruden, Cofounder & CEO of Project Eleven, a lab focused on securing decentralized systems against quantum threats

• ​Andrea Rocchetto, Cofounder of Ephos, building the infrastructure layer for photonic computing

​This event will bring together researchers, technologists, and Bitcoin builders and will explore:

• ​A brief history of cryptography - and what quantum breaks

• ​Why Bitcoin is one of the first great quantum use cases

• ​What a credible quantum adversary looks like

• ​Financial and technical estimates of when quantum attacks could realistically threaten Bitcoin’s security

• ​Practical approaches to post-quantum resilience, including current mitigation strategies and long-term protocol shifts

​This isn’t just speculation - it’s an sober assessment of the timeline, risk profile, and global implications of quantum progress, grounded in the mission of Project Eleven: to proactively secure the world’s most valuable decentralized systems before a crisis forces the issue.

​Whether you're a Bitcoiner, cryptographer, or quantum skeptic, this is a conversation that could shape the next era of digital trust.
