Techub News reported that X user @cryptorover said Binance founder Changpeng Zhao had previously suggested that the Bitcoin network should freeze Satoshi Nakamoto-linked addresses if they had seen no transfers for one year. The comment has drawn fresh attention after a recent vulnerability involving the Coldcard hardware wallet revived debate over the safety of dormant holdings. According to the report, assets that have remained untouched for long periods are not automatically secure, as artificial intelligence and quantum computing are increasingly being discussed as rising threats. The report added that if Satoshi’s private keys were ever cracked, the large amount of Bitcoin mined in the network’s early days could be exposed to risk.

The report said dormant assets are not absolutely safe, with artificial intelligence and quantum computing emerging as increasingly serious threats. If Satoshi’s private keys were cracked, the large Bitcoin holdings from early mining could face risk.
