A quantum roadmap would push Bitcoin much higher: Charles Edwards

The article argues that Bitcoin could benefit if developers publish a clear roadmap to make the network quantum-resistant. Charles Edwards of Capriole Investments says such a plan would quickly reduce uncertainty around quantum computing risks and could trigger a double-digit price move higher. He also says Bitcoin’s current price already discounts some quantum risk, estimating BTC is about 40% below fair value and that quantum concerns account for roughly a 30% discount. The piece frames quantum preparedness as a potential upside catalyst rather than only a threat, especially as Ethereum targets a post-quantum overhaul by 2029 and broader industry scrutiny may increase before 2030. Overall, the market implication is mildly bullish for BTC if a credible development roadmap emerges, though the article emphasizes that no solution exists yet and the risk could worsen if quantum progress accelerates.
