The #البيتكوين community rejects a proposal to freeze Satoshi Nakamoto’s coins.



Bitcoin developers have proposed BIP 361, a proposal aimed at freezing old addresses that may be vulnerable to quantum computing attacks, including addresses dating back to the Satoshi era between 2010 and 2011.

These addresses contain more than 4 million BTC, and they are seen as potentially becoming a long-term target if quantum computing sees significant advancement.

But the proposal sparked a wave of widespread rejection within the Bitcoin community.

Critics argue that requiring coin transfers at the level of the consensus protocol is an excessive measure and contradicts Bitcoin’s approach based on voluntary updates that rely on wallets and incentives—not on compulsion.

They also point out that the threat of quantum computing is still theoretical, and the economic feasibility of such attacks does not make most users likely targets.

Opponents warn that setting time limits and invalidating old signatures could lead to unnecessary disruptions and create a dangerous precedent that would allow restrictions to be imposed on money at the protocol level.
