**[Opinion: If Bitcoin is Cracked by Quantum Computing, OGs Will Take Over Satoshi Nakamoto's Holdings]** BlockBeats reported on December 15 that last Saturday, social media saw heated discussions about the potential impact of "quantum computers possibly hacking into Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin wallet and dumping his holdings." This debate was sparked by YouTuber Josh Otten, who shared a Bitcoin price chart showing BTC plummeting to $3. He suggested that if a sufficiently powerful quantum computer were to successfully steal the approximately 1 million BTC held by Bitcoin's anonymous founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, and dump them on the market, such a scenario could occur. In response, long-term Bitcoin holder Willy Woo stated: "Many OGs (early Bitcoin holders) would buy during such a flash crash. The Bitcoin network will survive; most Bitcoins will not immediately face risk." Woo further pointed out that approximately 4 million BTC are stored in P2PK (Pay-to-Public-Key) addresses, which include Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoins. These types of addresses expose the full public key on-chain when spent, making them theoretically more vulnerable to quantum attacks. He added that once the full public key of a Bitcoin wallet is exposed on-chain, it could face the risk of quantum attacks in the future—because, assuming sufficient computational power, a quantum computer could theoretically derive the private key from the public key. In contrast, newer types of Bitcoin addresses are less susceptible to quantum attacks, as they do not expose the full public key on-chain. If the public key is unknown, a quantum computer cannot generate the corresponding private key.
