😱🚨 Could Bitcoin Collapse by 2036? Analyst Warns of Major Risks
Justin Bons, founder of Cyber Capital, has warned that Bitcoin could face collapse between 2031 and 2036 if key issues are not addressed.
1. Shrinking Miner Rewards
After future halvings, by 2036 miners would only earn 0.39 BTC per block—around $2.3B annually to secure a trillion-dollar network. Bons says this may not be enough to stop 51% attacks.
2. Governance Issues
Bons criticized Bitcoin’s development team for being too rigid. He argues that refusing solutions like block size increases or controlled inflation weakens Bitcoin’s long-term adaptability.
3. Quantum Computing Threat
Advances in quantum computing could break Bitcoin’s cryptography. Some experts warn that 30% of Bitcoin holdings could be at risk by 2030–2035 if no safeguards are added.
Bons believes these combined pressures could lead to a collapse within 7–11 years unless Bitcoin evolves.
