Capriole Founder: Bitcoin's price could crash if it lacks quantum resistance by 2028 According to Cointelegraph, Charles Edwards, founder of the quantitative Bitcoin and digital asset fund Capriole, warned that if Bitcoin does not achieve quantum resistance by 2028, its price could plummet below $50,000. The potential threat posed by quantum computing to the crypto industry has long been a controversial topic and is seen as a critical turning point on the horizon. In theory, more advanced computers capable of breaking encryption could reveal users' private keys, exposing sensitive data and user funds to malicious actors. It is widely believed that this threat is still years away from becoming a reality; however, Edwards predicts that this day could arrive as early as 2028. If the industry does not act quickly enough, Bitcoin's price could crash. Critics argue that the threat posed by quantum computers is exaggerated, as the technology is still decades away from being practical, and major banks and other traditional targets would likely be compromised before Bitcoin.
