❌ Think Satoshi’s BTC Wallet is Forever Safe? Think Again 💥
For years, everyone believed that Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.1 million BTC was untouchable.
No movement. No trace. 👀
But here’s the truth — that’s only true for now. ⏳
Why it’s not completely safe 🔓
Satoshi’s early Bitcoin wallets are secured using ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) — the same algorithm protecting every BTC wallet today.
It’s strong, yes ✅, but not future-proof.
Once quantum computing reaches a certain level 🚀, the math behind it could fail.
With a powerful enough quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm, private keys can be derived from public keys. ⚠️
That means what’s “unbreakable” today could become decodable tomorrow. 💣
The scary part 😱
Wallets that haven’t revealed their public keys are relatively safer.
But the moment any old coins move — even 0.0001 BTC — the public key is exposed to the network. 🌐
From that instant… the countdown begins ⏰.
People love saying “Satoshi’s coins can’t be touched.”
But if those coins ever move, that protection vanishes instantly.
The wallet could become the biggest digital bounty on Earth — worth $70B+ 💰 and hunted by every quantum lab on the planet. 🔬
What’s being done? ⚙️
BTC developers have discussed quantum-resistant cryptography, but nothing concrete has been implemented yet.
If the quantum race accelerates faster than expected, the myth of the “untouchable wallet” could collapse overnight. 🌌
