He said:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c12-year trend broken. BTC should be valued a lot higher relative to gold. Should be. It\u2019s not.

Market participants, according to Woo, have already begun factoring that uncertainty into pricing.<\/p>\n<h2>Quantum Risk Seen As Lingering Overhang For Years<\/h2>\n<p>Woo believes upgrades could eventually introduce quantum resistant signatures that protect future transactions. Concerns remain, however, about coins tied to early wallets that are no longer accessible.\u00a0Woo wrote:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLikely, BTC will be patched with quantum-resistant signatures. This doesn\u2019t fix the issue of four million lost coins coming back into circulation. I\u2019d say it\u2019s 75% chance that lost coins will not be frozen by a protocol hard fork\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The market has started pricing in the return of these lost coins ahead of time. This process completes once the \u2018Q-Day\u2019 risk is off the table. Until then BTC\/USD will price in this risk. Q-Day is five to 15 years away.

It\u2019s the end of the long-term debt cycle, it\u2019s where macro investors and sovereigns run to hard assets like gold to shelter from global debt deleveraging. Hence, gold moons without BTC.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Market pricing reflects that divergence so far. Bitcoin traded at $66,377 at the time referenced, showing a decline of more than 20% since the beginning of the year.
