#duskMost people think about privacy as a problem for today. Few think about what happens ten or twenty years from now.

Imagine this: you make a transaction today, fully encrypted, fully private. Years later, quantum computers mature. Old cryptography cracks open like a time capsule. Suddenly, data that was once “safe” becomes readable. This is the real long-term privacy threat — not future surveillance, but future decryption of past activity.

In crypto, this matters more than we like to admit. Blockchains are permanent. Once data is written, it cannot be erased. If the cryptographic foundations don’t survive quantum advances, privacy becomes temporary by default.

That’s why forward-looking protocols are already exploring quantum-resistant primitives and zero-knowledge systems designed to age safely. The goal isn’t panic — it’s preparation. True privacy should outlive hardware cycles, political shifts, and computing breakthroughs.

Do you think today’s privacy chains are thinking far enough ahead, or are we underestimating the quantum clock?$DUSK @Dusk
