Imagine a giant treasure hunt for lost Bitcoin! It's like finding buried pirate gold, but digital. A Bitcoin expert thinks powerful new computers (called quantum computers) might one day find millions of lost Bitcoins. Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, thinks it's a cool idea but says it's a long way off.
- People have lost their Bitcoin, like forgetting a password to a super-secret bank account.
- Quantum computers are super-fast and might unlock these lost Bitcoins.
- Ardoino says Bitcoin is safe now, but future-proof changes are needed.
