Opinion: Quantum computing may put some bitcoins thought to be lost forever back into circulation
According to Odaily Planet Daily, the advancement of quantum computing technology may redefine the traditional concept that lost Bitcoin coins cannot be recovered. Some wallets that were generated early and abandoned for a long time may be at risk due to quantum computing breaking through old encryption technology.This may allow some bitcoins that were thought to be permanently lost to circulate again, thus changing the scarcity narrative. Although Bitcoin developers can protect active wallets through protocol upgrades, old wallets may be more vulnerable to future attacks, posing a new test for Bitcoin network security.
