Bitcoin Could Jump 50% If Developers Agree on Quantum Plan: Capriole CEO

Summary

Capriole Investments CEO Charles Edwards says Bitcoin could jump 30% to 50% in one day if developers agree on a roadmap to protect the blockchain from quantum computers. Speaking to BMTV, he called the threat tangible within a typical two- to three-year investment horizon and said developers have not reached consensus despite early-stage proposals. A concrete plan from Bitcoin Core developers could prompt investors to reassess the risk; the next six to 12 months could be positive for BTC if development advances. Delays could leave the network increasingly exposed and lead Edwards to reconsider Bitcoin’s fair value.
