Bitcoin Could Climb 10% Or More if This 1 Thing Happens (Hint: It Involves Quantum Computing)

Published July 31, 2026 · Category: Finance

Overview

Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) scariest and most misunderstood long-term risk might also be its next big catalyst. It's currently priced at 49% below its all-time high near $126,100, and Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards blames much of the gap on investors' fears about quantum computing.

In a conversation with Cointelegraph on July 24, Edwards pegged that fear discount at near 30%.

The catch is that publishing such a road map is harder than it sounds.
