BlockBeats News, September 7th. According to Decrypt, since leaving his last words "I've moved on to other things" in 2011, Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto has been missing in action. However, Joseph Chalom, Co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming, has put forward a "bold conjecture": if Bitcoin faces a survival threat from quantum computing, Satoshi Nakamoto might reappear.

Some experts believe that quantum computing could pose a "survival crisis" for Bitcoin in the next decade. The Bitcoin community has already begun discussing how to make the network quantum-resistant. Some have proposed achieving quantum resistance through a hard fork, while others have suggested freezing the bitcoins held by Satoshi Nakamoto that are vulnerable to quantum attacks.

Joseph Chalom stated: "I have a crazy idea that probably in the next five to ten years, when the Bitcoin network needs to achieve quantum resistance, some extremely important decisions will be made around standards and cryptographic techniques. For example, whether a protocol needs to undergo a hard fork, and how to deal with those long-dormant wallets. This is a matter involving a huge amount of funds that will not be easily overlooked."

He further added that this theory has no factual basis, and if his theory is correct, then he believes Satoshi Nakamoto would reappear through "some early, long-inactive OG accounts."
