Quantum Clouds & Lost Bitcoins: Why Gold’s Winning the Crypto Breakup

Oh, the drama! Analyst Willy Woo declares gold the unlikely hero in this decade-spanning tango with Bitcoin, because apparently, nothing says “forever” like a 12-year trend crumbling under the weight of quantum doomsday vibes.

Woo, who’s basically the Cassandra of crypto, drops this bomb on his 1.2 million followers who clearly hang on his every word like it’s a Shakespearean tragedy. Spoiler: BTC’s 12-year winning streak against gold is kaput. Cue the sad trombone.

Why the breakup? Because quantum computers-those pesky, unhackable (until they’re not) marvels-are casting a shadow over BTC’s glow-up. “The valuation trend broke down once quantum came into awareness,” he sighs, like a parent who just discovered TikTok.

“12-year trend broken. BTC should be valued a lot higher relative to gold. Should be. It’s not. Don’t read this post if you want to stay high on hopium instead of seeing things as they are.”

Oh, the irony. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s trying to upgrade like a desperate ex installing a new dating app, but Woo’s not buying it. “Sure, patch those quantum-resistant signatures,” he shrugs, “but good luck recovering the 4 million lost coins when Satoshi’s digital keys are lost in a very expensive game of hide-and-seek.”


“The market has started pricing in the return of these lost coins ahead of time… Q-Day is five to 15 years away. That’s a long time trading with a cloud over its head.”

Translation: Bitcoin’s stuck in a “quantum limbo,” while gold, the sober friend at the party, quietly soars. Because obviously, in the apocalypse, you’re either hoarding gold or arguing about blockchain entropy on a deserted island.

“Unfortunately, the next 10 years are when BTC is most needed… Hence, gold moons without BTC.”

Bitcoin, currently trading at $67,588 (down 20% YTD, darling), is now the ex who still owes you $30K. Meanwhile, gold’s at $4,880/ounce-up 12% since New Year’s-and probably sipping a martini while writing a strongly worded Yelp review about crypto bros.
