CZ Proposes Freezing Satoshi's 1.1M BTC in Quantum Threat

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao has proposed freezing the estimated 1.1 million BTC owned by Bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto if quantum computers threaten Bitcoin's cryptography and the coins remain unmoved.

This proposal aims to prevent potential theft but has divided experts.

Critics argue it violates Bitcoin's permissionless nature and doubt consensus could be reached, while others focus on preparing Bitcoin for a post-quantum future through cryptographic upgrades or legal trusts.
