The increasing cost of verifying identity and property rights due to advancements in artificial intelligence and quantum computing poses a significant challenge to traditional capitalist systems. AI's ability to create convincing false identities and fabricate documents could make it prohibitively expensive to establish genuine claims, while quantum computing, though offering potential solutions like quantum-resistant cryptography, introduces substantial costs and system-wide changes. Decentralized ledgers, while transparent, still require external institutions to resolve property disputes, as demonstrated by the Bybit hack where North Korean hackers stole and dispersed assets, necessitating intervention from entities like the FBI to track and block transactions.
