Everyone wants to talk about the future of crypto in terms of how it can be used. Not enough people are talking about the fact that a single breakthrough in computing could undo the encryption that these currencies are reliant upon, instantly driving the value to zero. This is a vulnerability that does not have an analogue in any other currencies, securities or stores of wealth. Because of that, crypto is and will be an extremely high-risk asset to hold. It’s a time bomb. Like all things of this nature, everyone will ignore it until it happens, which means that crypto will be incorrectly priced by markets until then.
