๐จ Quantum Threat to Bitcoin? 80,000 BTC Just Moved After 14 Years! ๐
๐ง What Happened?
On July 4, 2025, 8 Satoshi-era wallets suddenly moved 80,000 BTC (โ $9.44B) after 14 years of silence.
๐ Each held 10,000 BTC mined back when BTC traded under $3. Now? ~$118K.
๐ฃ Why the Move?
โก๏ธ Old P2PK wallets are vulnerable to future quantum hacks
โก๏ธ BTC was moved to SegWit addresses, believed to be more quantum-resistant
โก๏ธ 28,600 BTC already sent to Galaxy Digital. 9,000 sold โ triggered a 5% BTC dip on July 15 ๐
๐ฅ Quantum Threat is Real (But Not Immediate)
๐งฌ Quantum computers may break Bitcoinโs ECDSA security
๐ Est. 5.9M BTC at risk (including 1M+ Satoshi coins)
๐จโ๐ป Devs are working on new BIPs to freeze & phase out vulnerable wallets
๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ Whale Identity?
๐ All 8 wallets likely belong to one entity
Rumors say itโs Roger Ver (โBitcoin Jesusโ) โ released on bail weeks before this transfer
๐ค A 10,000 BCH test tx happened a day earlier
๐ OP_RETURN Mystery
๐ From July 1โ4, strange messages were embedded in the BTC chain
โWe have taken possession of this wallet...โ
๐ Demanded proof of ownership by Sept 30
Most likely a spam campaign to bait dormant whales
๐ก Takeaway
Whether it's fear of quantum attacks, legal pressure, or old whales waking up...
๐ Bitcoinโs next chapter is unfolding โ and quantum-proofing is no longer optional
