If you want to see why Bitcoin specifically is a problem, please see my top-level comment again :P ! One thing many don't realise is that when quantum computers get powerful enough, they will be able to crack the private keys of almost every single cryptocurrency, which could even happen in a few years! /s/QuantumResistance is very important!

It probably won't be much of a problem for you, though, because physical gold/silver isn't just quantum resistant, but downright quantum proof! It is by far the safest asset, and definitely safer than, well, any of the 3 cryptocurrencies (last time I checked) which are quantum resistant, despite how secure they are.

Seriously though, you should add a lack of quantum resistance to reasons to avoid Bitcoin, because it is a very big problem no one has been paying attention to.

Quantum computers will change everything but I hadn't considered that they will be able to crack crypto private keys. I do wish I'd bought a few hundred Bitcoins when they first came out but now it's too volatile for me. Yes, physical metal is hard to beat as long as it's secret. Do you know any Bitcoin millionaires?

Not IRL, no.
