Taylor Van Oordt warns that governments, not Bitcoin, would be the first casualties if modern cryptography fails. She argues that the most powerful entities would immediately target other high-value state actors rather than focusing on Satoshi Nakamoto's coins. The assessment suggests that geopolitical power structures face greater systemic risk from cryptographic vulnerabilities than decentralized digital assets. According to this view, nation-states represent the primary attack surface and would serve as the initial dominoes in any widespread security collapse.
