So I have these paper wallets (a couple are actually printed on paper while a couple of others are saved to text files) and I was wondering will there always be backward compatibility for Bitcoin Wallet Addresses?
The bitcoin wallet will always be backward interoperability so the wallet that starts with
1 which is also called the legacy wallet is never an old wallet and the concept of the
3 and
bc1q .is to enjoy lower feel but most custodial wallet provider still use the legscy wallet.
I'm wondering do I need to shift the funds to new paper wallets? Or, keep them as is and hope a future bitcoin wallet can still accept them?
You don't need to move your holding to new paper wallets if you're not planning to claim the forked coins in your holding wallet but it will be good though if you claim it since we are In ATH market.
