Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès has just floated a wild new proposal: executing a hard fork to recover the 80,000 $BTC that were stolen during the infamous 2011 exchange hack!
This development is already stirring up heavy debates across the crypto community. While using a hard fork to reverse a major hack has happened in crypto history (like the famous Ethereum and Ethereum Classic split), attempting to do this on the Bitcoin network is highly controversial and would require almost impossible consensus.
What do you think? Should the same $BITCOIN in network hard fork to return stolen funds to the victims, or does "code is law" mean the history should remain untouched? Drop your thoughts below! 👇
