According to Decrypt, SharpLink Gaming co-CEO Joseph Chalom, said, "Once Bitcoin is threatened by quantum computing, Satoshi Nakamoto may show up. I have a crazy idea that in the next five to ten years, when the Bitcoin network needs to achieve quantum computing, the community will make some extremely important decisions around standards and encryption technologies. For example, whether a protocol needs to be hard forked and how to deal with long-dormant wallets. This is a problem involving huge amounts of funds and will not be easily overlooked." Some experts believe that quantum computing may become a "existence crisis" for Bitcoin in the next decade. The Bitcoin community has begun to discuss how to make the network equipped with quantum protection capabilities. To this end, some people proposed to achieve quantum resistance through hard forks, and some people suggested freezing Bitcoins held by Satoshi Nakamoto, which are vulnerable to quantum attacks.
