Opinion: Quantum computing may crack lost Bitcoins, challenging the scarcity narrative
Advancements in quantum computing technology may redefine the traditional notion that 'lost coins' in Bitcoin cannot be recovered. The article points out that some early generated and long-abandoned wallets (such as Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet) may face risks due to their owners' inability to migrate keys to more secure cryptographic algorithms, which could be compromised by quantum breakthroughs in old encryption technology. This could allow some Bitcoins considered permanently lost to re-enter circulation, thus changing the scarcity narrative. Although Bitcoin developers can protect active wallets through protocol upgrades, the network's adaptability is sufficient to meet the challenges of the quantum era, older wallets may become easier targets for future attacks, posing new challenges for Bitcoin network security.
Opinion: Trump's Bitcoin reserve plan may become a watershed moment for the cryptocurrency market
Trump publicly supports the Bitcoin reserve plan, promoting the U.S. government to accumulate Bitcoin as a strategic asset. The plan has garnered support from political figures including Porter and Lummis, and has attracted bipartisan attention. Trump's support has given political momentum to this previously marginalized concept, marking it as a watershed moment in the cryptocurrency market. California Democratic congressmen and Wyoming Republican senators propose incorporating Bitcoin into U.S. reserve assets, partly relying on America's gold reserves. However, critics argue this may reinforce the U.S. financial dominance and challenge the decentralized ideals of Bitcoin. Nevertheless, supporters believe this move helps address the debt crisis and promotes global financial innovation.
