The "Bitcoin forever" narrative carries a blind spot worth examining. It rests on an assumption that nothing superior will emerge—that innovation stops here. But that's hardly how technology works. When you zoom out, that bet looks increasingly fragile. The real wildcard? Quantum computing. Once that arrives, the entire cryptographic foundation underpinning Bitcoin's security model faces genuine pressure. We're not just talking about incremental improvements; we're talking about potential shifts in what's even computationally viable. The further out you project, the riskier it becomes to treat any current asset class as permanently dominant. Markets evolve. Technologies disrupt. The question isn't whether Bitcoin stays valuable—it's whether tomorrow's computing landscape renders today's assumptions obsolete.

Is the hype about quantum computing really blown out of proportion? Bitcoiners have already been researching quantum-resistant solutions.

Quantum computing is something we will have to face sooner or later; the BTC eternal theory is indeed a bit of an assumption.

Can quantum computing really break Bitcoin? It sounds sensational, but on the other hand... eternalists are indeed too naive.

The hidden danger of quantum computing has indeed struck a chord, and the idea of BTC being eternal sounds like betting on technological stagnation.
