Happycoin.club - Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether stablecoin issuer USDT, is confident that $581.3 billion worth of bitcoins will flood the market at the current rate thanks to quantum computing.

Quantum computing still does not pose a real threat to the Bitcoin network's encryption method. Before the danger materializes, quantum-resistant addresses will appear.
All living people (who have access to their crypto wallets) will transfer BTC to new quantum-resistant addresses. All wallets that are no longer accessible, including those belonging to Satoshi (if he died), will be hacked, and the coins will be returned to circulation, Ardoino wrote.

The total number of lost bitcoins is about 6 million, if you take into account the cryptocurrency stored in wallets whose owners have died or cannot access them. Like, for example, British James Howells, whose girlfriend threw away a hard drive with 7,500 BTC worth $726.6 million. Currently, the circulating supply of bitcoins is 19.8 million coins, respectively, 30% of digital assets worth $581.3 billion are effectively withdrawn from circulation.

A cryptocurrency trader under the pseudonym Crypto Skull believes that the appearance of 1 million BTC belonging to Satoshi Nakamoto on the market will “plunge us into the Stone Age”. Obviously, he means the collapse of the BTC rate to $20,000 or even lower. It is not difficult to guess what consequences the injection of 6 million BTC will lead to. Therefore, some experts suggest blocking crypto wallets vulnerable to hacking using quantum computing to avoid collapse.
