[CZ Discusses Bitcoin Solutions Under the Threat of Quantum Computing: The Community May Face Three Choices]
According to a report by Jinse Finance, CZ shared a video of his interview on the X platform, where he discussed the potential impact of quantum computing on Bitcoin's encryption system, including the threat to Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin holdings. If future quantum attacks lead to the compromise of the old encryption system, the community may face three choices:
1. 'Do nothing,' allowing the relevant assets to be naturally transferred by attackers and creating sell pressure, but potentially achieving redistribution within the community in the end.
2. Freeze or restrict the relevant addresses and envision returning the assets under verifiable identity conditions. However, he believes this path would face technical and credibility issues after encryption is compromised.
3. Adopt intermediate solutions such as 'slowing down or delaying transfers,' though this also involves execution complexities.
CZ also proposed a compromise idea: setting a time window through community governance, such as 6 to 12 months. If funds in early addresses remain unmoved during this period, they could be locked through a network fork or protocol upgrade, permanently removing them from circulation. This would prevent attackers from concentrating stolen funds and causing market sell pressure in the future. He emphasized that such decisions should be made through community voting and noted that there is currently no perfect solution. However, he warned that 'taking no action could become the worst outcome in the future,' and therefore mechanisms should be designed in advance to address potential quantum risks.
