Quantum Will Break Crypto First

162
Personally, I believe that once quantum computers reach practical power,
the first assets to collapse won’t be banks or credit card networks—
it’ll be Bitcoin and most cryptocurrencies.

Banks can upgrade their encryption overnight inside closed, centralized servers.
Users won’t even notice.

But Bitcoin can’t.
Every address that has ever made a transaction already has its public key
permanently exposed on the blockchain.
Quantum computers can reverse that and steal the private key directly.

And Bitcoin can’t fix this fast.
A security upgrade requires global consensus,
node updates, exchange updates, wallet updates,
and millions of users moving funds.

Banks need hours.
Bitcoin needs years.
Quantum needs a day.

That’s why, in a true quantum era,
the first systems to fall aren’t traditional finance—they’re
Bitcoin and 99% of all cryptocurrencies.

When the cryptography breaks,
the asset doesn’t drop in value—
it disappears.
Trade active
The real solution is simple: move crypto to quantum-resistant encryption before quantum hits.
Trade closed: target reached
If crypto can’t become quantum-resistant,
even Bitcoin and Ethereum won’t survive.
The quantum era will erase today’s rankings
and create a completely new crypto world.
Note
To be clear, everything above is simply my personal warning about the challenges crypto may face.
But I don’t think crypto is doomed — far from it.
If this industry adapts, evolves, and becomes truly quantum-resistant,
it can survive, scale, and even thrive.

And if crypto ever wants real adoption — real utility, real monetary use, and real global value —
then reaching half of gold’s market cap, or even surpassing it, isn’t impossible.
It may take decades, but I believe it can happen.
