At the Las Vegas Bitcoin conference, Galaxy Digital's Head of Research, Alex Thorn, highlighted a growing consensus within the Bitcoin community regarding the threat posed by quantum computing. The community largely agrees that Satoshi Nakamoto's P2PK address assets should remain untouched to preserve Bitcoin's core property rights. Satoshi's assets are distributed across approximately 22,000 addresses, each holding 50 BTC, reducing the risk of a comprehensive quantum attack compared to a single large "honeypot."
Additionally, there is widespread support for developing and testing post-quantum (PQ) cryptographic technologies as a contingency plan. However, this development must not lead to consensus deadlock or introduce untested technological risks.
