CZ: If a Satoshi Nakamoto address remains inactive for an extended period after the quantum upgrade, the associated BTC should be frozen.
Svmuu News: In an exclusive interview on the Galaxy Brains podcast with Alex Thorn, Head of Research at Galaxy, CZ stated that quantum computing does not pose an unsolvable problem for Bitcoin, and that the community can address the associated risks by upgrading to post-quantum cryptography schemes. Regarding the approximately 1 million BTC held by Satoshi Nakamoto, CZ believes that “doing nothing” is not an ideal solution.He suggested that if Bitcoin completes its post-quantum upgrade in the future, the community could grant a 6- to 12-month transition period; if no transactions occur from the relevant addresses during this time, those addresses should be frozen under the new protocol, and the associated BTC removed from circulation. CZ stated that if no action is taken, this portion of BTC could ultimately be acquired by the first person to use quantum computing to crack the relevant addresses, which would not be a reasonable method of distribution. However, he emphasized that the final course of action should still be determined by the Bitcoin community through consensus mechanisms such as voting.
