Crypto Mondays LA April

​AI has made huge strides over the past year, pushing tech boundaries and raising big questions. One of them: How close are we to real quantum computing—and what threat does that pose to Bitcoin?

​At its most extreme, quantum computing could break Bitcoin’s cryptography. If attackers could derive private keys from public ones, they could forge transactions and undermine the system. It's not sci-fi—it’s a real risk.

​Sure, quantum-resistant cryptography exists. And yes, Bitcoin could upgrade. But this raises a deeper question: can Bitcoin actually change when it needs to? What does its history of hard forks and minimal upgrades tell us about its capacity to adapt?

​This is a rich conversation—at the crossroads of AI, quantum computing, and Bitcoin’s long-term security. It’s also a perfect entry point for beginners: we’ll break down where cryptography shows up in Bitcoin (mining, wallets, transactions), and why it matters.

​We'll look at Bitcoin's culture, its evolution, and the tension between its greatest strength—being stable and slow to change—and the looming possibility that a major upgrade might be necessary.

​Crypto Mondays L.A. is about education and community. Whether you’re brand new, deep in the weeds, or somewhere in between—come grab a drink, crave some food, meet fellow crypto minds, and join the discussion.

​Expect an open, engaging convo—and a chance to connect with builders, investors, and thinkers shaping the future of crypto.
