The recent wave of selling pressure in Bitcoin, with some attributing dips to fears over quantum computing breakthroughs, stems largely from a single, overstated rumor that has spread rapidly through online forums and social media. The narrative claims that advances in quantum technology have suddenly made large portions of Bitcoin holdings vulnerable to theft, prompting panicked liquidations—including misinterpretations of a major $9 billion sale by a long-term holder as evidence of a quantum-driven exodus. In reality, this fear is premature and exaggerated, as current quantum hardware remains orders of magnitude too weak to pose any practical threat to Bitcoin’s cryptography. Experts from leading digital asset firms emphasize that the risk is medium- to long-term, giving the network ample time to implement post-quantum upgrades without urgency-driven disruptions.
