Bitcoin 2.0: The Continuity Protocol
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The original Bitcoin protocol represents a remarkable achievement in cryptographic engineering and distributed computing. Nevertheless, it harbors an intrinsic vulnerability embedded in its core design: the inevitability of generational wealth loss due to private key attrition. This paper provides a rigorous mathematical analysis of the intergenerational private key loss problem and introduces the Continuity Protocol (Bitcoin 2.0), a cyclical reissuance mechanism designed to sustain network liquidity and operational functionality over millennia. Through probabilistic modeling and comprehensive test case verification, we demonstrate that this solution is mathematically robust, fully compatible with the Bitcoin protocol up to the year 2140, and capable of maintaining system stability for approximately 13,331 years. 🔗 Discover the Continuity Protocol — Bitcoin 2.0 Link: https://github.com/andradepsa/bitcoin-2.0 Link: https://andradepsa.github.io/MATEMATICO10/bitcoin.html
