Overview
A cluster of coverage centers on Kevin O’Leary’s view that “quantum” security concerns are becoming a key overhang for Bitcoin—less about day-to-day volatility and more about whether institutions will meaningfully increase allocations until the network is perceived as hardened against future threats. The discussion also points to a proposed technical response (BIP-360 / P2MR) as part of the broader security conversation.
