According to BlockBeats, speculation has emerged regarding the potential return of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, in response to threats posed by quantum computing. Since Nakamoto's last known communication in 2011, stating "I have moved on to other things," there has been no trace of the enigmatic figure. However, Joseph Chalom, Co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming, has put forward a "bold hypothesis" suggesting that Nakamoto might reappear if Bitcoin faces existential threats from quantum computing.
Some experts predict that quantum computing could pose a "survival crisis" for Bitcoin within the next decade. In response, the Bitcoin community has begun discussions on how to equip the network with quantum-resistant capabilities. Proposals include implementing a hard fork to achieve quantum resistance and freezing Nakamoto's Bitcoin holdings, which are considered vulnerable to quantum attacks.
