A new theory suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto, the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin, might need to re-emerge as quantum computing poses a potential threat to Bitcoin's cryptographic security. Analysts predict that by March 8, 2028, quantum processors could achieve the qubit density necessary to break Bitcoin's encryption using Shor’s algorithm. This development could endanger Satoshi's original Bitcoin addresses, which hold approximately 1.096 million BTC.
The theory, gaining traction in crypto circles, was highlighted by market observer CrediBULL_Crypto, who noted that cybersecurity experts believe the window of safety could narrow to just 12 months. This has sparked widespread debate among traders about Bitcoin's preparedness for the quantum era, as the community considers the implications of such a technological shift.
Quantum Computing Threat May Prompt Satoshi Nakamoto's Return
