Re: No there isn't a small probability

Cryptographic algorithms that were once thought unbreakable have a way of becoming breakable as computing power increases and cryptoanalysis moves forward. It occurs to me that blockchain systems, by dint of their need to keep all transactions on the chain forever, are locked in to whatever crypto they start life with. That must give them an expiration date.
