BlockBeats News, on February 20, Charles Edwards, founder of the bitcoin and digital asset quantitative fund Capriole, stated in a post, "Taking into account the statistical probability of 'Q-Day' (Quantum Day) possibly arriving, rational investors may have already discounted bitcoin's fair value by about 20%. If there is no substantial progress in bitcoin's anti-quantum code, this discount rate will double every year."


If related upgrades continue to stall for more than a year, bitcoin's valuation could be halved by the market compared to its current level. I hope the bitcoin core development team pays attention to this issue. Action must be taken by 2026 to address the potential threat of quantum computing."
