• How (and why) state attorneys general can override federal policy and turn digital asset regulation into a state-level battlefield

The Coin Based boys (Drew Armstrong & ArbedOut) take the stage in their LIVE AT PUBKEY show at PubKey NYC to discuss the quantum threat to Bitcoin:

• Why the quantum threat is a real Bitcoin engineering problem
• The simplest usable mental model of classical bits vs. qubits (and how private keys could be theoretically derived from exposed public keys)
• Which Bitcoin address/script types are most exposed, why old P2PK outputs are “low-hanging fruit,” and how newer types reduce (but don’t eliminate) exposure
• The messy debate over what to do about vulnerable old coins... burn them? Throttle them? Or do nothing and accept the risk?
• The risk of picking the wrong “quantum-safe” scheme too early and why post-quantum migration is difficult in practice
• Whether this entire quantum debate is perhaps even just a FUD psyop
• ...and more!

Harrison Friedes (AI for Individual Rights Program Associate at ⁠HRF⁠) and ⁠Alex Hancock⁠ (senior software engineer at Block) take the stage in their LIVE AT PUBKEY show at PubKey NYC to discuss the importance of open-source AI and Alex's contributions to Goose (Block's open-source AI that runs locally and operates transparently). Plus:

• The emergence of open-source AI agents and vibe coding as a once-in-a-generation shift
• Why open-source is essential for dissident developers operating under authoritarian regimes
• The tradeoffs between open and closed AI ecosystems (and the risk of centralizing core infrastructure inside profit-driven corporations)
• Why AI agents are a leveling force that amplifies individual power more than state power
• Why the future for AI isn't yet determined and is still up for grabs
• ...and more!
