Explanation
The predicted 5-year window (through roughly 2030) hasn't elapsed; stablecoin issuers have grown their Treasury holdings substantially but remain far below China's or Japan's holdings as of 2026.
There is roughly a 50/50 chance of a major quantum computing breakthrough occurring within the next 5 years, accelerated by AI-driven research.
“Honest answer, I feel like 50/50 within 5 years there is a quantum breakthrough.”

Explanation
Framed as a 50/50 probability rather than a definite claim, and the 5-year window (through roughly 2030) hasn't elapsed; genuine quantum advantage milestones have occurred in 2025-2026 (Google's Quantum Echoes, IonQ) but none yet constitutes the kind of cryptography-breaking 'breakthrough' this prediction was gesturing at.
