News: Bitcoin is down 6% over the last 12 months and 43% from its all-time high. Currently, 47% of all Bitcoin in circulation is held at a loss. Long-term holders are bearing the heaviest burden, with 30% of their holdings underwater. Recent concerns stem from a Google Quantum AI paper outlining potential quantum computing attacks on Bitcoin's encryption. Despite this, holders aren't flooding exchanges with sell orders. Historically, periods of deep underwater holdings have lasted around nine months, followed by sharp rebounds, and all rolling periods of 41 months or longer have produced positive returns.
