💸 Kevin O’Leary Calls for $1 Million Bitcoin, With an Asterisk

Kevin O’Leary showed up at Avalanche Summit wearing an $11 million Shohei Ohtani baseball card around his neck, sealed in a Tiffany holder with 110 carats of diamonds. He used it to make a point about tokenization, then spent the rest of the interview explaining why Bitcoin gets to $1 million, but only if the industry solves a problem that doesn’t quite exist yet.

His condition is Q-Day, the point at which a quantum computer could forge the signatures securing every Bitcoin wallet. No such machine exists, and estimates for when one arrives run from the early 2030s to never. O’Leary says the doubt alone is why large funds cap Bitcoin exposure near 3%, treating it as a sliver of gold rather than a core holding. If Bitcoin devs can resolve the doubt, that cap moves.
