Billionaire Tim Draper says quantum computers more of a threat to banks than bitcoin
Venture investor Tim Draper said quantum computers pose a greater threat to traditional finance than to bitcoin, arguing banks would be hacked first. He said his bitcoin holdings are safer than U.S. dollars kept in banks and that the bitcoin network could, if attacked, carry out a hard fork to return to a last safe block, though broad consensus would be required. Debate continues over quantum risks and possible quantum-resistant upgrades.

Retail buy dips, institutions sell rallies as doubts grow over bitcoin bottom signal
On-chain analysis suggests bitcoin’s bear-market bottom has not yet been confirmed, with realised losses in this cycle remaining below 2022 levels. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said investor capitulation appears weaker than in the previous downturn, though he added the view may be subjective. Trader Ardi said retail investors have aggressively bought dips for months, while mid-sized participants and institutions have sold into rebounds. Analysts said bottom signals may gain weight only if realised losses rise and the flow pattern shifts.
