According to BlockBeats news on September 7, as reported by Decrypt, the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained elusive since leaving his last message in 2011 saying, “I have moved on to other things.” However, SharpLink Gaming Co-CEO Joseph Chalom has put forward a “bold hypothesis”: that Satoshi Nakamoto may reappear once Bitcoin faces a survival threat due to Quantum Computing. Some experts believe that Quantum Computing could pose a “survival crisis” for Bitcoin within the next decade. The Bitcoin community has already begun discussing how to equip the network with quantum protection. To this end, some have proposed achieving quantum resistance through a Hard Fork, while others suggest freezing the Bitcoin held by Satoshi Nakamoto that is vulnerable to quantum attacks.
