Under the shadow of quantum computing, Bitcoin's most vulnerable secret has been officially torn open.
"Bitcoin is facing a survival threat!" — This eye-catching headline instantly ignited the global crypto community. On July 16, 2025, a BIP draft (Bitcoin Improvement Proposal) submitted by top cryptographers and mining pool giants was made public, with core content like a blade drawn from its sheath: urgently isolate all non-upgraded "quantum vulnerable" Bitcoins, including the 1.1 million BTC sleeping with Satoshi Nakamoto!
The market has instantly fallen into quantum panic.
The news exploded like a nuclear bomb, instantly turning the crypto world upside down:
Bitcoin plummeted 12%, with liquidations reaching as high as $3.7 billion within 24 hours, and the fear index VIX soared 75% to touch the abyss of "extreme fear";
Mainstream exchanges urgently suspend all withdrawals from old P2PKH addresses, Coinbase announces "strongly urging users to migrate immediately to quantum-resistant wallets";
"Satoshi's coin" freeze proposal hits the front page of The Wall Street Journal, traditional finance exclaims: "The ultimate soft spot of digital gold has been struck!"
Quantum blade, targeting Bitcoin's "Achilles' heel"
This proposal codenamed BIP-QShield is by no means alarmist; it precisely targets Bitcoin's most primal fear:
"In the early days of Bitcoin, P2PKH addresses (which account for 15% of circulation!) used unencrypted public keys. Once quantum computers become practical, these coins will be instantly cracked and transferred like a sandcastle."
More deadly is — Satoshi Nakamoto himself holds about 1.1 million BTC (accounting for 5.2% of the total Bitcoin supply!) which are sleeping in these types of "naked" addresses. The proposal advocates: freeze these high-risk UTXOs before the quantum threat becomes a reality! This is not a hard fork, but a permanent exclusion from on-chain transactions by marking isolation through full nodes!
To be or not to be? The suspense is at its peak!
The miner camp is sharply divided: supporters shout "Cutting off a wrist to save the whole!", while opponents roar "This is a betrayal of Satoshi Nakamoto's legacy!" The battle for network hash power is about to begin;
Has the countdown for quantum computers really begun? IBM announced yesterday a milestone breakthrough in "quantum supremacy," and Google's quantum chip "Sycamore" is suspected to be able to crack elliptic curve encryption;
The most dramatic bombshell: If Satoshi's coins are permanently frozen, will his "Genesis key" suddenly awaken before quantum decryption? This century gamble, where the winner takes all!
"Bitcoin must either evolve or die. There is no middle ground in the quantum era." — The warning from Dr. Alex, the chief cryptographer of the proposal, has become the new Bible of the crypto circle.
The battle for quantum survival has begun! This is not just an upgrade of code, but an ultimate stress test concerning the survival of Bitcoin's faith. Who can see the direction in chaos? Who will become a victim under the quantum wave?
