A group of long-dormant Bitcoin whales has moved over 600 BTC, valued at more than $41 million, after more than a decade of inactivity. The transfers, identified by CryptoQuant analysts, involved three "Satoshi-era" wallets moving 100, 200, and 300 BTC each. This activity coincides with Bitcoin's price nearing the $70,000 resistance level, suggesting potential profit-taking by these major investors.
In parallel, Google Quantum AI has issued a warning about the risks quantum computing poses to current Bitcoin encryption. The company claims that only 1,200 to 1,450 logical qubits are needed to compromise existing encryption, a figure much lower than previously estimated. The crypto community has revisited Satoshi Nakamoto's early discussions on BitcoinTalk, where he anticipated such threats and proposed transitioning to more robust cryptographic algorithms. This highlights ongoing efforts to ensure Bitcoin's long-term security as quantum technology advances.
