According to @simplykashif, Michael Saylor released a new video explaining the quantum computer threat to Bitcoin, spotlighting BTC security as a trading consideration. Source: X post by @simplykashif on Dec 20, 2025. Bitcoin transactions use ECDSA over secp256k1, which is theoretically vulnerable to sufficiently powerful quantum computers via Shor's algorithm, making the topic directly relevant to market risk assessment.

As of October 2024, Bitcoin had not adopted post-quantum signature standards such as CRYSTALS-Dilithium, so traders evaluating the video should note that any mitigation would require protocol-level changes not yet implemented.

According to @simplykashif, Ethereum exchange balances just hit a 2016 low. source: @simplykashif. He also reports that holders are moving ETH off exchanges for long-term holding, pointing to ongoing accumulation. source: @simplykashif. For traders, a multi‑year low in exchange reserves can coincide with reduced immediate sell pressure and tighter spot liquidity, so monitor exchange netflows and order book depth for confirmation of supply-tight conditions. source: @simplykashif.

According to @simplykashif, Russian President Vladimir Putin is quoted as saying that banning Bitcoin is impossible and that new payment technologies will continue to grow because they cut costs and improve trust; source: @simplykashif on X, Dec 20, 2025. According to @simplykashif, the remarks emphasize cost reduction and trust as drivers for adoption, which the post frames as supportive for Bitcoin (BTC) and blockchain-based payments; source: @simplykashif on X, Dec 20, 2025.

According to @simplykashif, Citibank projects Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $189,000 within the next 12 months and Ethereum (ETH) near $5,130, as stated in his Dec 19, 2025 post on X (source: @simplykashif on X).

According to @simplykashif, Bitcoin (BTC) is leaving undervalued zones based on CryptoQuant’s on-chain models, a phase that historically aligns with long-term holder accumulation and stronger spot demand per CryptoQuant. For traders, CryptoQuant indicates such transitions often precede trend-continuation phases, with realized price and MVRV-derived fair value bands acting as key support and resistance guides per CryptoQuant. Confirmation to monitor includes a sustained SOPR above 1 and positive spot premium, while invalidation would be a reversion of these indicators back into undervaluation bands, all per CryptoQuant.

According to @simplykashif, Michael Saylor stated in a video that Bitcoin is moving from a $2 trillion asset to $20 trillion and eventually $200 trillion over the next 20-30 years, and that gold will not see comparable growth, source: @simplykashif. Based on those figures, the implied BTC market cap path is a 10x move to $20T and a 100x move to $200T from the cited $2T baseline, offering a long-horizon bullish framework for positioning, source: @simplykashif. Using the projections, a 2T to 20T move implies an approximate compound annual growth rate of about 12 percent over 20 years or about 8 percent over 30 years, while a 2T to 200T move implies about 26 percent over 20 years or about 17 percent over 30 years, which traders can use as return benchmarks versus gold, source: @simplykashif. The statement explicitly frames BTC as a higher growth allocation than gold for macro portfolio construction across digital assets and precious metals, source: @simplykashif.

According to @simplykashif, the Federal Reserve has removed its 2023 crypto restriction, clearing the way for uninsured banks to engage in crypto activities (source: @simplykashif). The 2023 policy statement had limited state member banks’ ability to engage in certain crypto activities without heightened supervisory oversight, making any removal a material shift in U.S. bank access to digital assets (source: Federal Reserve Board, Jan 27, 2023 policy statement). Traders should seek confirmation on the Federal Reserve Board website or the Federal Register before repositioning, as regulatory headlines can materially move BTC and ETH around U.S. market hours (sources: Federal Reserve Board; CME Group). If confirmed, monitor CME BTC and ETH futures basis and open interest for signs of increased institutional participation, and track stablecoin net issuance as a proxy for fiat on-ramp liquidity (sources: CME Group; Chainalysis).

According to Kashif Raza (@simplykashif), after a 9‑day tour meeting 20+ crypto experts at IBW 2025 Bengaluru, Binance Blockchain Week Dubai, and Bitcoin MENA Abu Dhabi, attendee sentiment is that the traditional 4‑year cycle is over and the broader bull market is still ahead on rising liquidity, indicating a preference for BTC over weaker altcoins (source: Kashif Raza on X, Dec 12, 2025). According to Kashif Raza, many altcoin projects have gone bankrupt and are looking to sell for minimal value, while only a small set of use‑case‑driven altcoins may rally in 2026, implying selective positioning and quality bias (source: Kashif Raza on X, Dec 12, 2025). According to Kashif Raza, privacy is viewed as a major 2026 theme, suggesting potential attention toward privacy‑focused assets as the market turns risk‑on (source: Kashif Raza on X, Dec 12, 2025). According to Kashif Raza, MicroStrategy (MSTR) is expected by attendees to withstand FUD and is characterized as building a central‑bank‑like role on Bitcoin, reinforcing the institutional BTC adoption narrative (source: Kashif Raza on X, Dec 12, 2025). According to Kashif Raza, there is chatter that Abu Dhabi and other Middle Eastern royal families are buying Bitcoin and that gold prices could keep rising, signaling continued demand for hard assets alongside BTC; this suggests a BTC‑over‑altcoins tilt and selective exposure to utility and privacy narratives into 2026 based on the reported conference sentiment (source: Kashif Raza on X, Dec 12, 2025).

According to @simplykashif, Jamie Dimon said JPMorgan moved 16 trillion dollars in a single day, with all flows passing compliance while remaining cheap and fast (source: @simplykashif on X, Dec 12, 2025).

For traders, this on-record endorsement from a major U.S. bank CEO reinforces the institutional tokenization and real-world assets (RWA) narrative that markets track for sentiment and flows in enterprise blockchain and tokenization-linked assets (source: @simplykashif on X, Dec 12, 2025).

According to @simplykashif, citing Sygnum’s APAC HNWI Report 2025, 87% of wealthy investors in Asia own crypto with an average 17% portfolio allocation (source: Sygnum APAC HNWI Report 2025; X post by @simplykashif, Dec 11, 2025). The report states 90% of respondents view digital assets as important for long-term wealth and legacy planning, indicating durable participation rather than short-term trading only (source: Sygnum APAC HNWI Report 2025; X post by @simplykashif, Dec 11, 2025). Six in ten HNWIs expect to increase their crypto exposure over the next two to five years, signaling continued allocation growth within that horizon as reported by the survey (source: Sygnum APAC HNWI Report 2025; X post by @simplykashif, Dec 11, 2025). The survey also notes that 80% hold Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and Solana (SOL), identifying these as the most commonly owned tokens among APAC HNWIs (source: Sygnum APAC HNWI Report 2025; X post by @simplykashif, Dec 11, 2025). For traders, the combination of high current ownership, a 17% average allocation, and planned increases over 2–5 years highlights BTC, ETH, and SOL as key assets directly exposed to reported APAC HNWI demand trends (source: Sygnum APAC HNWI Report 2025; X post by @simplykashif, Dec 11, 2025).
