QUANTUM COMPUTING FUD VS. REAL BITCOIN THREATS

Everyone's worried about quantum computers breaking Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, 70 people got physically attacked for their sats last year. (1)

Let's talk about the real threats.



Jameson Lopp at the Quantum Bitcoin Summit this week (2):

"The fear and uncertainty about quantum computing may well be a greater threat than quantum computing itself."

Translation: FUD is the bigger risk right now.

@Jameson Lopp

The actual 2025 threat landscape according to Casa CEO Nick Neuman (3):

- 60-70 physical "wrench attacks" (a record year)
- Phishing attempts up across the board
- Social engineering getting sophisticated

Quantum computers aren't stealing Bitcoin. Humans are.

Also notable: Casa is pivoting toward institutions. (4)

"Not everyone wants to be a sovereign individual right now."

The premium individual market is increasingly underserved.

Self-custody doesn't have to be "no excuses" hard. (5)

It also doesn't have to wait until quantum computers are a threat.

The right time to secure your Bitcoin is before you become a target.
