ââ If You Think Satoshiâs Wallet Is Safe Forever⊠Youâre Wrong.
For years, everyone kept saying Satoshiâs 1.1M BTC is untouchable.
No movement. No trace.
But honestly â thatâs only true for now.
The part most ppl ignore is this đ
Satoshiâs early Bitcoin wallets are locked using ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algo) â the same thing that protects every BTC wallet today.
Itâs strong, yes, but not future-proof.
See, when quantum computing hits a certain level (and it will), that math doesnât hold anymore.
Once itâs strong enough to run Shorâs algo properly, private keys can be calculated from public ones.
That means â whatâs âunbreakableâ today, becomes âdecodableâ tomorrow.
đ Now hereâs the scary bit:
Wallets that never revealed their public keys are still kinda safe.
But the moment any of those old coins move â even 0.0001 BTC â the public key gets exposed to the network.
And from that point⊠the countdown starts ticking.
People love saying âSatoshiâs coins canât be touched.â
But if Satoshi ever moved them, that protection would vanish.
That wallet would turn into the biggest digital bounty on earth â worth $70B+ and hunted by every quantum lab on the planet.
BTC devs have talked about quantum-resistant cryptography, but nothing solidâs implemented yet.
If that tech race accelerates faster than expected, the myth of the âuntouchable walletâ might collapse overnight.
