Bitcoin may shake off \'Q-Day\' fears as quantum roadmap becomes rebound catalyst

Bitcoin could rise by double digits if its developers present a clear roadmap to counter quantum-computing threats, according to Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards. He said markets could quickly reprice the risk if Bitcoin Core outlines steps within months. Debate continues over moving to quantum-resistant cryptography, with some warning changes could clash with Bitcoin’s philosophy. Edwards estimates Bitcoin trades about 40 percent below fair value, with quantum risk accounting for a 30 percent discount.

BlackRock says bitcoin quantum computer risk not a major worry

BlackRock says the quantum computing threat to bitcoin and other cryptocurrency networks is technically manageable. In a report titled \"Quantum Computing and Blockchain\", it said moving existing cryptography to quantum-resistant standards is easier than building a quantum computer capable of breaking it. BlackRock said the key challenge is coordination and implementation in decentralised networks. It also flagged potential vulnerabilities in bitcoin’s current structure and announced a bitcoin security consortium with Coinbase, Fidelity Digital Assets and Block.
