🥶 Developers want to freeze BTC on old wallets

Quantum Bitcoin Summit proposed a radical solution: freeze vulnerable BTC, including Satoshi coins, to avert disaster.

25% of all bitcoins (including Satoshi's ~1 million BTC) use outdated cryptography and can be hacked by quantum computers.

If attackers gain access to these coins, a massive sell-off and price crash awaits the market.

The gist of the proposal (BIP by Jameson Lopp, Casa):

⚪️ Ban transfers to old addresses (ECDSA/Schnorr).

⚪️ After 5 years, completely block withdrawals from such addresses.

⚪️ Optionally use mechanism to restore frozen coins through proof of ownership of seed phrase (no inflation risk).
