Summary

On-chain analyst Willy Woo said that if Bitcoin resolves the post-quantum issue within the next 5–10 years, competing assets could disappear.
Woo said he assesses that gold’s scarcity could be weakened by technological advances, potentially causing it to lose competitiveness within 15–20 years.
He said he presented the possibility of a mega rally in which Bitcoin trades sideways in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars for 8–12 years, then surges to the millions of dollars around the 12–16 year mark.

Forecast Trend Report by Period

A forecast suggests that if Bitcoin (BTC) overcomes quantum-computing risks within the next 5–10 years, it could enter a major long-term upcycle.

On-chain analyst Willy Woo said on X on the 5th (local time) that "Bitcoin must resolve the post-quantum issue within the next 5–10 years, and if it clears that hurdle, competing assets could effectively disappear."

He also assessed that gold could lose competitiveness within the next 15–20 years as technological advances undermine its scarcity.

As for Bitcoin’s price trajectory, he laid out a scenario of a sharp rally after a prolonged range. Woo projected that "Bitcoin could trade sideways in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars for the next 8–12 years, but around the 12–16 year mark, a 'mega rally' could emerge, spiking into the millions of dollars."

This outlook is interpreted as analysis focused less on short-term price volatility and more on whether key technical risks are resolved and on long-term structural shifts.
