你有没有发现，比特币这几年越来越诡异了。说是去中心化，说是没人能动，可美国手一伸，150亿美金的币就进了账。这事儿要搁几年前，谁信啊？可现 在真发生了。 我第一反应是，那他们是不是把密钥破解了？结果一查，没破。根本没破。人家连私钥都没动，就能拿走。理由？"执法"。这事儿发生在2024年底，美国司 法部公告自己控制了从黑客案里追回的超150亿比特币。听起来像在办案，但细想就觉得冷。区块链不是去信任的吗？结果最大的不确定，来自最有权的那 一方。 这下币圈的"绝对安全"，被打了个响亮的耳光。 很多人都在说，比特币用的是椭圆曲线签名算法，也就是ECDSA，现有技术确实破不了。对，这话没错。但问题是，没人规定技术永远停在现在。量子计 算的那条线，已经快摸到门框了。 谷歌在2019年就宣布过自己实现了"量子霸权"，意思是量子机算一道题比传统超算快了1万倍。当时大家都觉得离现实还远。但今年有新数据，美国国家标 准与技术研究院（NIST）披露，破解ECDSA所需的量子比特数量，比之前估的少了整整20倍。这个变化意味着什么？意味着那种原本几十年后的威胁，可 能提前十年敲门。 IBM现在在干嘛？他们说2033年前要造出10万量子 ...
