Bitcoin developers, researchers, and market participants are finding common ground on the debate over quantum computing. The Bitcoin news now centers on how the network should treat Satoshi Nakamoto’s dormant coins, while developers continue work on post-quantum cryptography. Galaxy Digital Research Director Alex Thorn said conversations in Las Vegas showed early agreement across different views in the Bitcoin community. According to Thorn, many participants support protecting property rights, preparing technical safeguards, and avoiding rushed protocol changes. A major point of agreement is that Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin should not be moved, frozen, or restricted. Thorn said most people he spoke with believe touching those coins would damage Bitcoin’s core value proposition. The concern centers on property rights, which remain central to Bitcoin’s design and long-term market trust. Satoshi’s holdings are often discussed as a single large risk factor. However, the Bitcoin news said the structure of those coins makes the issue more complex. The coins are spread across about 22,000 addresses, with roughly 50 BTC per address. A long-range quantum attack would need to crack many separate addresses, not one single wallet. Source: XThat detail changes the scale of the threat. Thorn argued that Satoshi’s holdings do not create one giant target. Instead, the larger short-term risks sit with active entities, including exchanges and major custodians. These firms can move funds and upgrade to post-quantum addresses if a real threat becomes clearer. The quantum computing debate often focuses on old Bitcoin addresses. However, Thorn said active wallets may face more realistic risks than dormant Satoshi-era coins. Exchanges and large holders control concentrated Bitcoin balances, making them more visible targets under extreme scenarios. Even so, those entities have a practical advantage. They can respond to new risks by moving coins to upgraded address types when stronger cryptographic tools become available. That flexibility
