It seems that Bitcoin Core will stop working in 2038 because of assertion c=
hecking if the current time is non-negative. Also, the whole chain will hal=
t after reaching median time 0xffffffff in 2106. More information: https://=
bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3D5365359.0
I wonder if that kind of issues are possible to fix in a soft-fork way.
