“Bitcoin’s Collapse Will Not End the Cryptocurrency Ecosystem”
Entrepreneur Nic Carter created a in sharing “Bitcoin He started the discussion by expressing the opinion that “if it collapses, other cryptocurrencies will also lose their value.” Hoffman, on the other hand, opposed this idea and stated that if Bitcoin stops, Ethereum will continue to produce blocks and its own ecosystem will continue to work. According to him, even if Bitcoin’s block production stops Ethereum There will be no changes to its blockchain.
Hoffman also acknowledged that Bitcoin’s possible collapse could lead to a short-term jolt of confidence in the market. However, he argued that Ethereum’s functional structure and user base could survive without being affected by such a shake-up. He also suggested that Bitcoin’s deactivation could open a new window of opportunity for Ethereum and that it could become a natural digital currency on its own.
Of course cryptocurrency marketThe disappearance of one of the two assets worth billions of dollars in the world may cause investor orientation to shift to the other. According to Hoffman, in such a scenario, Ethereum would be advantageous both technically and economically, thanks to its innovative infrastructure.
Ethereum’s Quantum Readiness Is More Advanced
On the other hand, the researcher Scott AaronsonDrawing attention to the potential danger of quantum computers, he said that a system that can run the Shor algorithm could be implemented before 2028. wrote. It is known that the ECDSA signatures used in Bitcoin’s early wallets are vulnerable to such attacks. Carter also suggests that recent price movements have begun to price this risk in the market.
Hoffman, Ethereum quantum threatsHe emphasized that he had been preparing for a long time against the attack. From its early days, the network reduced the possibility of potential attacks by hiding public keys behind addresses. The Merge updateAlong with this, validators’ withdrawal keys were also secured.
Moreover, Ethereum’s roadmap includes planned updates such as the Verkle tree and EOF layer, which envisage the transition from ECDSA to quantum resistant signature systems. According to Hoffman, this forward planning will make Ethereum more resilient against possible quantum threats in the future and will provide an advantage in crises that its competitors may experience.
