BREAKING NEWS
Bitcoin Developers Just Proposed Freezing Early BTC Wallets Forever.
Bitcoin developers led by Jameson Lopp formally published BIP-361 on April 14, outlining a phased post-quantum migration plan that would eventually invalidate legacy ECDSA and Schnorr spends.
The proposal would first block new sends to quantum-vulnerable addresses, then freeze legacy signature paths on a five-year clock from activation, leaving any later recovery path for frozen funds as a separate unresolved phase.
Bitcoin traded near $74,295 on April 15, up about 9.1% over the two-week window shown below, while Polymarket still priced the odds of Satoshi moving coins at about 9.3%, suggesting this proposal has not materially repriced that market.
