Casa co-founder and CTO Jameson Lopp, along with five developers, proposed a Bitcoin improvement proposal to address the threat of quantum computing, suggesting a gradual phasing out of current address types deemed "quantum vulnerable." The proposal advocates for establishing incentive mechanisms to encourage users to migrate to post-quantum secure addresses, and in the future, it will prohibit transfers to old addresses and restrict their spending within five years. The proposal points out that approximately 25% of Bitcoin is currently at risk, including 1 million $BTC believed to belong to `Satoshi Nakamoto`.
4. QCP: Bitcoin Will Form Stronger Support if it Retraces to $110,000.00
QCP analysis indicates that Bitcoin briefly retraced after breaking through $120,000.00, finding support near $114,000.00. The Dollar Index has fallen 10% year-to-date, driving strong performance in dollar-denominated assets, including US stocks, gold, and Bitcoin. The dollar is currently at risk of rebounding, and if the dollar rises rapidly, it may drive a synchronous pullback in risk assets. In addition, QCP maintains a structurally bullish view on $BTC, believing that a retracement to $110,000.00 will form stronger support. $ETH is also performing strongly, boosted by continued corporate accumulation.
