Couldn't that mean that if they make ASIC machines that are built to hack wallets, and what if it becomes a trend to hack bitcoin wallets and millions of people start doing it, and companies start creating very optimized hardware that their only purpose is to brute-force wallets randomly
Let's say that becomes a possibility in the distant future, why would people participate in that? For the money? What do you think would happen to Bitcoin in that case? You would see a bear market and drop in value that we haven't experienced before. Unless a fast fix was found, it would be the end of Bitcoin as we know it. I don't see why Bitcoin enthusiasts would coordinate their efforts in destroying something in such a way.
