In this post, I refer to a publication by @KZG Crypto 口罩哥 on September 7th of last year, which raises the possibility of the legendary Satoshi Nakamoto's public return to the crypto world.
"The threat of quantum computing is plunging the Bitcoin community into unprecedented anxiety. With the rapid advancement of this technology, experts predict that quantum computers could break Bitcoin's encryption algorithm within the next decade, jeopardizing the survival of the entire network.
At this critical moment, SharpLink Gaming's co-CEO, Joseph Chalom, has put forward a bold conjecture: if Bitcoin truly faces the life-or-death test of the quantum threat, the mysterious founder Satoshi Nakamoto, who has been missing for years, might choose to return.
Since leaving a farewell message in 2011 saying, "I've moved on to other things," Satoshi Nakamoto has completely disappeared from the public eye, leaving behind approximately 1.1 million bitcoins and countless unsolved mysteries. But the threat of quantum computing could change all that.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has warned that quantum computing could pose a substantial threat to Bitcoin by 2028. Once quantum computers are deployed on a large scale, attackers will be able to crack private keys and steal Bitcoin from wallets, especially those addresses created early on whose public keys have been exposed.
Chalom speculates that when the network needs to make important decisions regarding its direction, Satoshi Nakamoto could speak out through his "OG account" of early holdings, guiding the community toward a consensus on upgrading against quantum computing with his unparalleled authority"
Draw your own conclusions. Cheers.
