Quantum computing threat could become bitcoin's next big catalyst, Edwards says

Charles Edwards has described what it would take for bitcoin to reach a fresh record high: a significant development. He cited genuine progress on quantum computing, a shift in Federal Reserve policy, U.S. government purchases of bitcoin, or a stimulus event as possible triggers. ETF-based institutional purchases are also supporting the market, Edwards said.
