🚨 Think Satoshi’s Wallet Is Safe Forever? Think Again.
For years, everyone’s believed Satoshi’s 1.1M BTC is untouchable.
No movement. No trace. No threat.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth — that’s only true for now.
Most people forget one critical detail 👇
Satoshi’s early Bitcoin wallets rely on ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) — the same cryptography protecting every BTC wallet today.
It’s strong, yes — but not future-proof.
When quantum computing reaches a certain threshold (and it will), that math starts to crumble.
Once a quantum computer can efficiently run Shor’s algorithm, it can derive private keys directly from public ones.
Meaning: what’s “unbreakable” today could become “decodable” tomorrow.
⚠️ Here’s the scary part:
Wallets that have never revealed their public keys are relatively safe for now.
But the moment any of those old coins move — even 0.0001 BTC — their public keys are exposed to the network.
And from that moment, the countdown begins.
People love to say, “Satoshi’s coins can’t be touched.”
But if Satoshi ever moved them, that protection would vanish instantly.
That wallet would become the biggest digital bounty in history — worth over $70B, and hunted by every quantum lab on the planet.
Bitcoin developers have discussed quantum-resistant cryptography, but nothing has been fully implemented yet.
If the quantum tech race accelerates faster than expected, the myth of the “untouchable wallet” could collapse overnight.
