Quantum Jenga Scenario:
Quantum computing is already able to break bitcoin's encryption.
The entity with this technology seeks to topple the system as carefully as possible, like a well-played game of Jenga.
They have two goals:
1. Acquire as much capital as possible whilst maintaining investor confidence.
2. Destroy the network which has become the greatest threat to the fiat ponzi system.
Prerequisite:
Liquidity must be at such a level to continuously support large sell orders without tanking the price beyond retail holder tolerance, ensuring it does not trigger massive sell-offs. We have undoubtedly reached this level.
Method:
Strategically target the oldest and largest addresses, also the easiest to crack, over a long timeframe to appear as whales exiting a healthy and liquid market.
Avoid coins part of strategic reserves or custodied by large institutions. Target lesser known exchanges.
Keep new investors interested and unaware, with the market appearing as a buying opportunity, drawing in more liquidity.
Identify and eliminate, if necessary, anonymous long-term holders that would speak out if coins were to suddenly vanish.
Encryption was the only thing keeping your coins and your person safe from attack. Consider this safety exploited.
A call to whales - confirm your assets are still there and accessible, move to multi-signature wallets to enhance security and avoid being targeted.
Final thoughts:
Satoshi's coins have long been considered a bounty which stands as proof of bitcoin's resilience to attack.
For this very reason, it will most certainly be the last piece removed before the tower collapses.
