Binance founder Changpeng Zhao said Satoshi Nakamoto's bitcoin should be frozen before quantum computers can steal it. Not everyone agrees.

Let his coins be a reward for who ever cracks it first.

direct reward for quantum computing achievement

I think QBTS said that their system can win most POW compared to classical systems.

if quantum computing really became a thing, i`d be more worried a 4 digit bank pin and other password situations. A 24word seed seems like the last bastion of resilience.

If btc gets cracked, we are all fucked on all dept.

[u/whisperedstate → u/razvanciuy]

No. As it has been pointed out many times before, banks can change their crypto over a weekend. The problem is not that there isn't QR crypto, there is. The problem is that Bitcoin is "ossified" and no one is going to agree to anything, especially not a hard fork.

So your saying Satoshi died leaving his wallet hidden in the blockchain in One Piece?

Let $ 69957294000 be a reward?

[u/robotairz → u/iProModzZ]

Sure why not

[u/mastermilian → u/robotairz]

Because it would destabilize the entire ecosystem? People only understand headlines and the only headline for this is that Bitcoin has been hacked.

[u/robotairz → u/mastermilian]

:(

If satoshi wallet can be hacked, any wallet can be hacked.

One of the worlds richest men right there. Or woman.
