The quantum computing threat to Bitcoin that everyone's preparing for isn't the real vulnerability. The actual attack vector is economic: quantum-capable actors can break legacy financial encryption while Bitcoin remains secure, forcing a flight to the only remaining hard money. The preparation isn't defensive—it's positioning.
Every quantum-resistant upgrade to banking infrastructure creates a temporary asymmetry where Bitcoin becomes the most secure store of value by default. The institutions publicly worried about Bitcoin's quantum vulnerability are privately accumulating, knowing that quantum computing makes Bitcoin more valuable, not less.
