How risky are Bitcoin addresses?


As Thorne pointed out the new quantum technologies, especially neutral atom systems. He noted that these technologies currently face limitations that do not pose such quantum risks.

He wrote: "Neutral atom technology can only launch long-range attacks." He added that distinguishing between types of attacks is essential to understanding the risks associated with early Bitcoin addresses.

Even in the worst-case scenarios, Thorne argued that markets are capable of withstanding significant disruptions. Based on blockchain data, he mentioned that Bitcoin markets have "routinely absorbed more than a million bitcoins," even with wallets linked to Satoshi.

In addition to short-term risks, Thorne called for continued work on post-quantum solutions. He explained that attempts to develop and test some new cryptographic methods are beneficial, even if these new methods are not yet used. Thorne points out that developing such tools "to be ready for use when needed" is a "reasonable compromise."
