The real challenge facing Bitcoin may be much deeper than market fluctuations. Recent technical analysis regarding the threat of Quantum Computing points out that about one-third of circulating Bitcoins are at critical risk — the public keys of these addresses have been exposed on the blockchain for an extended period, and once Quantum Computing breaks through, these assets could instantly become ineffective against Cryptography.

The complexity of the problem lies in the fact that it cannot be easily resolved through software upgrades. Even if a quantum defense solution is deployed across the Bitcoin network, the coins that have already been "exposed" still face the risk of being bypassed. This leads to a dilemma: allow potential thefts worth hundreds of billions of dollars to occur, or break the principle of Bitcoin’s "code is law" by enforcing intervention? Regardless of which option is chosen, it will harm the trust foundation of the entire system.

The real countdown is not the moment of the breakthrough in quantum technology, but the speed at which the Bitcoin community can reach consensus quickly—can the community's reaction outpace the development progress of Quantum Computing in this race?

The existence of this underlying risk triggers a more fundamental reflection: when the core function of an asset—secure storage—faces long-term threats that cannot be mitigated by passive holding, we should reassess what constitutes the truly reliable and enduring value cornerstone in the world of Cryptography.

In this context, the role of stablecoins begins to appear different. Especially those stablecoins that rely on over-collateralized assets as their core mechanism; their logic is completely different—security does not depend on a single line of cryptographic defense, but is built on multi-dimensional asset coverage and real-world collateral. This design avoids the risks of future cryptographic games and instead provides another dimension of certainty through the underlying support of physical assets.

When Bitcoin is contemplating how to respond to quantum threats, stablecoins have already provided an answer to "absolute certainty" through different architectural means—not relying on the complexity of cryptographic algorithms, but on the authenticity of assets. In this sense, diversified value storage methods are becoming a more rational choice in the allocation of crypto assets.
