It’s not a conspiracy theory anymore.
The GENIUS Act passed the House. A government-issued digital dollar is no longer a question of if — it’s a question of when. And when it arrives, every dollar in your bank account becomes a dollar the government can freeze, flag, or restrict based on how you choose to spend it.
Find out how Americans with $50,000+ in retirement savings are getting out ahead of it.
Think that sounds extreme? The infrastructure is already being built. Digital currencies issued by central banks give governments the ability to program money — to set expiration dates on stimulus, to block purchases they deem unacceptable, to turn off your access with a switch. No court order. No appeal. No warning.
Your bank account today is already one executive order away from a freeze. A digital dollar makes that permanent and invisible.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about who controls your retirement.
At American Alternative Assets, we specialize in one thing: helping Americans move retirement savings into real, physical assets that exist outside the digital financial system entirely. No account numbers. No government override. No exposure to whatever Washington decides to build next.
The 2026 Financial Freedom Blueprint is our free guide to the IRS-approved strategy Americans are using right now to protect their retirement from the coming digital overhaul.
Inside you’ll discover:
— What the GENIUS Act actually authorizes — and why your bank account isn’t what you think it is
— The only assets that exist completely outside the digital financial system — ungovernable, unprogrammable, yours
— The IRS-approved method to move your IRA or 401(k) into physical assets without penalties or tax consequences

Is This Quantum Outperformer a New Threat to D-Wave?
Author: Nathan Reiff. First Published: 2/17/2026.
Summary
- Despite recent successes, D-Wave Quantum shares are down by about 30% year-to-date, part of a broader sell-off in the quantum space.
- While most pure-play quantum firms have been heavily impacted by the dip, rival Quantum Computing has fallen by less than some of its peers.
- However, despite outperforming others in the industry, Quantum Computing carries heavy risks for investors associated with its low revenue, strong reliance on stock sales, and mounting operating expenses.
D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) is off to a strong start in 2026. The company began the year by closing on its $550-million acquisition of Quantum Circuits, a move that strengthens its position in the traditional gate-model quantum space. At the same time, D-Wave has reported multiple new deals for its Advantage2 quantum annealing system. The company is not abandoning its original approach; it is now a full-fledged dual-tech operation, which sets it apart from rivals. Finally, a renewed push into defense applications could open a new set of clients and projects.
Still, investors have punished D-Wave shares, which are down about 30% year-to-date (YTD), despite those wins. The quantum industry at large has experienced a pronounced selloff this year, dragging down share prices even as technical progress continues. Against that backdrop, Quantum Computing Inc. (NASDAQ: QUBT) has avoided the steepest declines. QUBT shares are down YTD, but not to the same degree as QBTS and several other pure-play rivals. Is there something about this firm that stands out, and should investors view it as a competitor to D-Wave amid the slump?
A Closer Look At Quantum Computing's Fundamentals
Trump's Final Shocking Act Begins February 24 (Ad)
After signing more than 220 Executive Orders… more than any president in American history… Donald Trump is preparing for one final move.
On February 24th — I have every reason to believe he will sign his Final Executive Order.
When I say that it's his FINAL executive order…
At first glance, Quantum Computing looks like a plausible contender among companies focused exclusively on quantum technology. The firm carries a Moderate Buy rating, with three of six analysts on the sell side making a bullish assessment. Wall Street expects Quantum Computing shares could more than double — rising roughly 112% to reach $18 per share. The most recent rating, an optimistic Buy with a $22 price target, came last month from Rosenblatt Securities.
Digging deeper, however, the company's fundamentals make that upside less certain. The firm generated just $384,000 in revenue in the last reported quarter and just over $500,000 in revenue over the trailing 12 months. Those figures are tiny compared with peers that are growing sales — D-Wave's revenue in the latest quarter was about $3.7 million, which, while modest, is considerably larger.
Through the end of the third quarter of 2025, Quantum Computing reported a year-to-date net loss exceeding $17 million, indicating the company is spending much faster than it is generating revenue. Operating expenses continue to climb as the firm pushes to bring products to market. It has financed much of that spending through a series of stock sales — totaling hundreds of millions of dollars in 2025 — which have diluted existing shareholders.
What Sets Quantum Computing Apart
Rather than attempting to build the most powerful quantum systems, Quantum Computing has focused on smaller components and enabling technologies — including photonic integrated circuits — and tools that could bring quantum capabilities to commercial customers sooner. The strategy is to target more accessible, near-term products that might lead to profitability sooner than large-scale hardware bets.
So far, however, that approach has produced limited results. The firm has not yet achieved widespread commercial success or secured a meaningful base of long-term, recurring contracts. It has shown signs of traction in automotive, financial, research, and government applications, but that interest has not yet translated into significant revenue or durable customer relationships.
For investors weighing a move from D-Wave shares into Quantum Computing stock, it's important to recognize that neither company has yet fully realized the promise of bringing quantum to the masses. Both face significant challenges ahead. D-Wave, though, does have some advantages — the recent acquisition, momentum behind Advantage2, and relatively stronger revenue generation — that could justify staying with the stock despite the selloff. Indeed, analysts see notable upside for D-Wave; consensus estimates imply roughly 94% upside, which may make the current dip look like a buying opportunity for some investors.
