Recently, a global equity strategy head at an investment bank made a bold move—completely cleared 10% of Bitcoin positions from their own model portfolio. The reason sounds a bit hardcore: the development of quantum computing could pose a threat to Bitcoin's cryptographic security. This move has sparked quite a bit of discussion in the market. The impact of quantum computing on blockchain security has always been a hot topic, but when institutions actually start taking action, it makes people reconsider Bitcoin's long-term security architecture. However, some also believe that the blockchain community should prepare technically before the quantum threat truly matures. This reduction is more about proactively addressing potential risks rather than indicating that Bitcoin currently has major issues.

Quantum computing isn't as urgent as it seems. Did this guy get scared and shout wolf ten years early?

Quantum computing, huh? It sounds impressive, but it will probably take several more years before it threatens Bitcoin... This move by institutions feels more like just putting on a show, with maximum PR.

watched those wallet movements pre-announcement... suspicious timing tbh. classic institutional FUD cover for position unwinding? transaction patterns suggest coordinated exits across multiple addresses. statistical anomaly or calculated PR move—hard to tell which without tracing the money trail deeper.

The same old story about quantum computing is back again. Every time major institutions want to exit, they like to use this as an excuse. To put it nicely, it's risk management; in reality, it's just an opportunity to dump assets when trying to buy the dip.

As for quantum computing, people have been calling it out for a long time. Now investment banks are starting to take it seriously? Honestly, it feels a bit like overreacting... Bitcoin still needs to hold on for a few more years.
