Bitcoin has recently caused a stir in the industry due to the 'Quantum Defense Shield' proposal, which directly points to the significant threat that quantum computing may pose to it, particularly mentioning the large amount of Bitcoin held by Satoshi Nakamoto and the security issues of many old addresses.
The proposal shows that core developers plan to forcibly isolate all addresses that have not upgraded to quantum-resistant algorithms, including Satoshi Nakamoto's genesis block address. This means that the 1.1 million bitcoins held by Satoshi Nakamoto may be 'frozen' and unable to circulate, while the wallets of millions of early miners and hoarders may also face risks. Additionally, the market is concerned that Bitcoin may split into a 'quantum-safe chain' and an 'original chain', leading to competition for mining power.
The market reacted strongly to this, with CoinGlass data showing that the short positions in BITMEX Bitcoin perpetual contracts surged by 47% within 24 hours. Some analysts believe that if the proposal initiates a vote, it may trigger panic selling, causing significant fluctuations in Bitcoin's price.
It should be noted that 'quantum computing attacks on Bitcoin' still contain many uncertainties, and the related technological developments and impacts need time for verification. Investors should remain rational and be vigilant against false information and excessive speculation in the market.
