Hi,
I've seen on Telegram during last weeks around 3 old (like 10y old with no activity) wallets selling their btc.
What are the chances that these wallets are actually broken by bruteforce? I know there were discussions some years ago about people that were trying to crack the private keys.
What do you think guys? Can such successful act would mean the end of btc era?
regards
The chances of brut forcing a wallet is very low, as the hacker have to spend enough money in acquiring much computing power up to quantum machines, which have not been produced yet. Those coin could be accessed by the owner who have held dearly to make sure the price gets to a certain amount of profit before they sell, or it could be inherited by the children, either ways the coin is still in the hands on the owner.
