🟠 Old BTC addresses may be frozen



Bitcoin developers proposed BIP-361 — blocking inactive wallets vulnerable to quantum attacks

It's not about all wallets, only early P2R-K addresses with exposed public keys, because in the future quantum computers will be able to derive private keys from them and steal assets

Will Satoshi's wallet also be frozen? If so, nearly 1.1 million BTC will be blocked only on his addresses, and over 1.7 million coins could be permanently taken out of circulation in total
