Should we freeze Satoshi's $BTC to protect it from quantum threats? Experts split on security vs property rights.
The debate: Lock down ~1M BTC sitting in old P2PK addresses (vulnerable to quantum attacks) vs respecting the fundamental principle that no one can touch your coins without your keys.
The irony? Protecting Bitcoin by... breaking Bitcoin's core promise. This isn't just a tech question—it's about whether we're willing to compromise immutability for security theater.
Quantum computing is still years away from cracking ECDSA, but the conversation reveals how fragile consensus really is when fear enters the chat.
