Is the quantum computing crisis coming? Senior financial strategists suddenly sell off Bitcoin



An interesting event has occurred. Christopher Wood, a well-known strategist at Jefferies, recently made a major move—removing Bitcoin from his model portfolio. The reason is straightforward: quantum computing.

This is not an alarmist claim. As quantum computing technology becomes more advanced, the threats to existing cryptographic systems are gradually emerging. For Bitcoin, which relies on cryptographic security, the pressure is indeed significant.

What does Wood’s adjustment indicate? At least it reflects that even seasoned Wall Street professionals are beginning to reassess the survival prospects of crypto assets in the quantum era. The logic behind this shift is worth paying attention to.

Quantum computing has been a topic that should have been addressed long ago. But only a few have actually taken action. Wait, is Wood serious with this move? It seems like Wall Street is the last to find out. The future of BTC might be more complicated than we think. What does this wave of adjustment indicate? Actually, we should have anticipated it a long time ago. When quantum comes, will the cryptography system collapse immediately? That's a bit of an exaggeration, haha.

Is quantum computing really here? Laughable, just another reason to cut the leeks Oh my, this logic, when will quantum computing actually be feasible? Starting to shift the blame now? Wood, is this... a new tactic to bottom fish Ethereum? The real crisis is the balance in my wallet, not some quantum computing Just waiting to see when he secretly buys back in. This move is too greasy The quantum threat rhetoric should have been in the top 10 panic marketing strategies in the crypto world long ago Wall Street folks reevaluate? Translation: just looking for a decent excuse to dump Here we go again, every year there's a new "doomsday prophecy," but the coins still keep rising

Quantum computing, to be honest, has been somewhat exaggerated... Maybe Wood has some hidden reasons for selling? --- Here we go again, Wall Street is starting to find new FUD reasons, this time it's quantum computing? --- Wait, can quantum computing really threaten Bitcoin? Or is it just another excuse to push the price down... --- I just want to know if this guy was shorting when he was selling, that would be quite ironic. --- The day quantum computing truly threatens, Bitcoin might have already changed its algorithm, feels a bit overthought. --- Every time a big influencer sells, a new panic reason appears. I'm already numb to it. --- If we discuss seriously, this is indeed worth paying attention to, but the timeline might not be that urgent.

Quantum computing has actually been something that should have been taken seriously a long time ago. This time, finally, some big players are starting to panic. But to be honest, the real threat still has to wait a few more years. Running now might be a bit premature. Can BTC really withstand quantum? What about those post-quantum cryptography solutions? Why isn't anyone talking about them? Wood's move is indeed impressive, but I think it's mostly a marketing gimmick. Forget it, I'm still going to keep stacking. There's no need to panic before the crisis actually arrives.

Oh, about this, the medical record shows that Bitcoin's cryptographic foundation indeed has a risk of complications, but pulling the plug now feels too hasty. When will the quantum threat truly materialize? In 10 years or 50 years? No one can say for sure. Is Wood's move a strategic prediction or over-treatment? It is recommended to regularly review cryptographic defense plans, but don't be frightened into a panicked escape by this strategic shift—this is the most dangerous part in clinical terms. How will the price react? How are liquidity indicators now? These data points are worth monitoring. Instead of following the trend and selling off, it's better to identify where the protocol code vulnerabilities are, whether quantum upgrade plans are truly infeasible, and not to be led by panic emotions. The risk warnings from Wall Street insiders are worth listening to, but the logical chain should be clarified—are these fundamental issues or emotional issues? The difference is significant.

Is quantum computing really here? It still feels a bit like unnecessary worry. --- It seems like wood is just looking for an excuse to bow out... --- Wait, are these Wall Street folks suddenly panicking? Then I better watch my wallet carefully. --- Quantum decryption is still a long way off for us, don't follow the trend and dump your holdings. --- It's a bit funny, now any reason is used to dump the market.
