The risks posed by quantum computing. Alex Thorne, Director of Research at Galaxy Digital, shared insights from recent discussions held in Las Vegas.
He pointed out that both skeptics and supporters are beginning to agree on key positions. The emerging consensus includes Satoshi Nakamoto's holdings, the development of post-quantum cryptography, and how the broader ecosystem will respond.
Satoshi's Coins and the Non-Interference Issue
One of the most important points of agreement is the necessity to preserve Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin holdings unchanged. Thorne noted that interfering with these rights could severely harm the fundamental value of Bitcoin related to ownership rights.
This stance appears to have broad support across different segments of the Bitcoin community.
Thorne also indicated that the actual risks might be less than commonly believed. Nakamoto's coins are distributed across approximately 22,000 addresses, each containing 50 Bitcoin.
