[Galaxy Digital Research Head: Satoshi's Bitcoin Addresses Should Not Be Tampered With, Quantum-Resistant Technology Needs to Be Prepared in Advance] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on May 3, Galaxy Digital Research Head Alex Thorn published an article stating that after discussions in Las Vegas with several Bitcoin developers, researchers, and quantum computing advocates, the industry is gradually forming a partial consensus on the issue of 'quantum computing and Bitcoin.' Thorn believes that most opinions support the idea that 'the early P2PK address assets held by Satoshi Nakamoto should not be touched,' as this could undermine Bitcoin's core principle of property rights inviolability. He pointed out that Satoshi Nakamoto holds approximately 1.1 million BTC distributed across about 22,000 addresses, rather than a single 'super vault.' In reality, larger risks come from entities like exchanges, which can proactively upgrade to quantum-resistant addresses. Thorn also stated that the industry broadly supports early research into quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions for Bitcoin, including development, testing, signature compression, and protocol discussions. Even if these efforts ultimately serve only as a 'backup plan,' they are still meaningful. However, Thorn cautioned that overly aggressive promotion of unverified quantum-resistant upgrades could lead to protocol complexity, scattered development resources, and community consensus deadlock. He believes that even if the probability of quantum computing posing a threat to Bitcoin is extremely low, initiating discussions and technical preparations in advance is still worthwhile.
