The 'Ultimate Security Myth' of Bitcoin May Be Shattered.
a16z recently issued an urgent warning: Bitcoin must immediately and urgently transition to quantum-resistant digital signatures, or else hundreds of billions of dollars in assets may be exposed to great risks. This is not a far-off sci-fi plot, but a countdown to a real threat.
What is the problem? Two major deadlocks.
First, Bitcoin upgrades are too slow. Achieving community consensus is difficult, and efficiency is low. If we really want to push for such a fundamental upgrade, it is likely to trigger a hard fork, leading to a split on the chain — which would be a fatal blow to Bitcoin's integrity.
Second, migration relies on you. In the future, even if a new system is launched, each holder will need to actively 'migrate' their assets to addresses protected by the new signatures. Those 'dormant coins' forgotten in corners and Bitcoins with lost keys will be completely exposed to quantum computing attacks, becoming the most vulnerable prey.
The most astonishing data: it is estimated that millions of Bitcoins are highly susceptible to quantum attacks, with a total market value reaching hundreds of billions of dollars. This is no longer a risk of individual assets, but a systemic crisis that could shake the confidence of the entire system.
Quantum computing is not a thing of the distant future; its progress may exceed imagination. The slow governance pace of Bitcoin and the reliance on user-initiated migration create a dangerous 'time gap.' The enemy may not wait for you to be ready.
It is time to seriously discuss this 'survival-level' issue: what should we do when the cornerstone of the crypto world is no longer absolutely secure? Are your Bitcoins ready to face the future?
Let's talk: do you think the Bitcoin community can unite and outpace this 'quantum countdown'?
