Could a Bitcoin Collapse Push Gold To $10,000 - 5 Top Dividend Gold Stocks To Buy Now

"The case for gold and gold miners is compelling for two reasons. Firstly, gold can serve as a strategic hedge against inflation. Secondly, some top miners extract silver, copper, and other essential commodities for industrial applications, both of which have recently reached all-time highs. Spot gold has exploded above the highs set in the summer of 2020, and in 2025, it had its best year since 1979. From a technical perspective, the gold market is showing signs of a potential massive breakout to the upside."

"The threat generated by Quantum computing to Bitcoin is because, according to published reports, Quantum computing poses a significant long-term threat to Bitcoin's security, primarily by potentially breaking the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) that secures user funds, allowing attackers to derive private keys from public keys to steal Bitcoin, a risk highlighted by institutions like BlackRock and the Federal Reserve."

"Christopher considers the competitive threat that quantum poses to Bitcoin a potentially existential one. Estimates suggest 20-50% of Bitcoins in circulation today could be vulnerable to theft if cryptographically relevant quantum computers become a reality. He finds it likely that preemptive actions are taken to preserve Bitcoin's integrity. He believes a "burn" approach (destroying vulnerable Bitcoins) could increase the value of remaining coins by creating supply constraints."

Gold serves as a strategic hedge against inflation and miners provide exposure to silver, copper, and other industrial commodities that recently hit all-time highs. Spot gold has climbed above the summer 2020 highs and 2025 was the best year for gold since 1979. Technical indicators point to a potential massive upside breakout in the gold market. Quantum computing poses a significant long-term threat to Bitcoin by potentially breaking ECDSA, enabling attackers to derive private keys from public keys and steal funds. Estimates suggest 20–50% of circulating Bitcoins could be vulnerable, prompting possible preemptive actions such as coin burns that would reduce supply.
