๐จ Developers Want to Freeze Old BTC Wallets!
At the Quantum Bitcoin Summit, a radical proposal was made: freeze vulnerable BTC, including Satoshiโs coins, to prevent a potential disaster โ ๏ธ๐ฅ
๐ก Why?
๐ 25% of all Bitcoin (including ~1M BTC belonging to Satoshi) still use outdated cryptography.
๐ฅ Quantum computers could break these keys, giving attackers access to massive BTC holdings.
๐ The result? A huge sell-off and a market crash.
๐ฅ Proposal from Jameson Lopp (BIP, Casa):
โช๏ธ Ban transactions to old addresses (ECDSA/Schnorr).
โช๏ธ In 5 years โ completely block withdrawals from such addresses.
โช๏ธ Optional: recovery mechanism for frozen coins via seed-phrase proof โ (without inflation).
๐ค What do you think? Will this save Bitcoin or destroy its original spirit?
