【Crypto World】Will the large-scale application of quantum computing truly threaten Bitcoin's security? Michael Saylor's recent perspective is quite interesting—he directly positions quantum computing as a booster for Bitcoin.
His logic is as follows: once the quantum threat truly emerges, the world will inevitably be forced to adopt quantum-resistant encryption technology. What does this mean? Users will need to migrate their Bitcoin to new addresses. It sounds manageable, but the consequences are quite subtle.
What will happen during this upgrade process—those long-unused Bitcoin addresses will be locked, and truly lost Bitcoins (with private keys destroyed or lost) will completely exit circulation. From a market perspective, this can effectively reduce the circulating supply. Saylor predicts that the available supply could shrink to about 16 million coins—compared to the current cap of 21 million, this is a significant tightening.
Looking at it from another angle, this technological upgrade is both a risk and an opportunity for supply-side reform.

【ChainNews】The Ontology mainnet upgrade has been officially completed. This adjustment involves a reshaping of the ONG token supply—maximal and total supply have been directly reduced from 1 billion to 800 million, a significant move.

This means that the truly circulating ONG will become even scarcer.
What does the community think? The voting period is from October 28 to October 31, 2025. The Triones node unanimously approved this proposal with 117 million votes. This is not only a numerical approval but also reflects the community’s shared expectation for the project’s long-term sustainability, liquidity optimization, and developer support.
The release schedule has also been adjusted. The ONG release cycle has been extended to approximately 19 years, maintaining a steady release rate of 1 ONG per second—such a design ensures that the token supply
