Charles Hoskinson just dropped a bombshell: 8 million BTC are sitting ducks for quantum computers, and the current plan to save them (BIP-361) might leave 1.7 million BTC including Satoshi’s stash frozen forever.
The Catch: Because Satoshi-era coins don't use modern seed phrases, they can't use the proposed recovery tech. We are facing a brutal choice:
🔹Do nothing: Let quantum hackers steal 10% of the supply in the 2030s.
🔹Implement BIP-361: Secure the network but potentially lock away the Creator's coins and 600k other legacy $BTC forever.
Hoskinson’s warning? If the community doesn't act, institutions like BlackRock will eventually force a hard fork to protect their own billions.
Would you vote to freeze Satoshi’s coins to save the rest of the network, or is immutability worth the risk of a quantum heist?
