Everyone Thinks Quantum Will Break Bitcoin. I Think It’ll Break Gold.

Hello Bitcoiners,

Hello Michael Saylor (I know you’re reading this 👀),

We’ve all heard the most poetic phrase in finance:

“Bitcoin is digital gold.”

Recently, I was scrolling through X and saw videos of people literally lining up outside stores to buy physical gold.
Apparently, that’s where retail went this cycle.

Meanwhile, central banks are hoarding gold like it’s going out of style.
And gold keeps smashing All-Time-High after All-Time-High.

So… what does this have to do with Bitcoin?

Well, gold’s total market cap is closing in on $30 TRILLION.
And I believe a massive shift from gold to Bitcoin is coming.

But – and here’s the twist –

Not for the reasons you’ve heard before.

Let’s start with the classic debate:

🥇 The “Gold Is Tangible” Argument

The Peter Schiff crowd always says:

“Bitcoin is digital! When I buy gold, I get something real that’s held its value for thousands of years!”

Fair enough. That’s a valid point.

Bitcoiners usually fire back with something like:

“Yeah, but you have to store and protect it. You can’t move it easily. It’s inefficient.”

Or, if you really want to bring out the big guns, you go straight to the heart of it:

“Gold’s supply isn’t fixed.”

And that, my friends, is where the real story begins.

⚙️ Gold’s Supply Problem (The Surface Layer)

Sure, we all know the basic version of this argument:

New deposits might be discovered.

Mining tech keeps improving.

Supply can increase – which hurts price.

That’s the surface layer.
But no one talks about what happens when you take this idea to the extreme.

Because there might be a LOT more gold out there – in our oceans, deep underground, or even floating in space – waiting to be mined once tech catches up.

Space mining alone could nuke gold’s scarcity narrative overnight.

But that’s not even the biggest threat.

⚛️ The Quantum FUD Nobody Talks About

Everyone in crypto loves to talk about “quantum FUD” –
how quantum computers will break Bitcoin and other cryptos.

But…

What if quantum computers break gold instead?

Stay with me.

Quantum computers and AGIs could make it possible to synthesize gold – atom by atom – in a lab.

You read that right:

Artificially created gold.

Once that happens, gold stops being “scarce.”
It becomes – and I say this lovingly – just another fiat currency.

When anyone with enough computing power can “print” gold with no max cap, its store-of-value narrative collapses.

And when that happens, where do you think all that value goes?

Yep. To Bitcoin aka "digital gold"

Now, people will say “What about Bitcoin? Won’t quantum computers break that too?”

Maybe – nobody knows exactly how this will play out.
But here’s the difference:

Bitcoin can defend itself. Gold cannot.

If quantum ever becomes a real threat, Bitcoin can adapt, upgrade, evolve.
Gold just sits there — waiting.

I think quantum computing poses a much bigger long-term threat to gold than to Bitcoin.

And this isn’t science fiction anymore.
Quantum research and advanced material engineering are progressing at breakneck speed.
We’re not talking about a hundred years from now – we’re talking 15 to 50 years at most before synthetic gold might become technically and economically feasible.

When that happens, gold’s entire scarcity narrative could collapse overnight.
And when it does, the capital flight to Bitcoin might be one of the biggest financial shifts in history.

This might sound far off, but with how fast tech is moving, I wouldn’t be surprised if this becomes real.

NO FINANCIAL ADVICE.
