Summary
BIP 361: Bitcoin Core devs want to FREEZE Satoshi's coins — 5.6M BTC (~30%) permanently locked to stop quantum computing attacks. Is it theft or survival? The Canadian Bitcoiners Podcast debates.This week Len and Joey break down the most controversial Bitcoin proposal in years: BIP 361, the post-quantum migration plan championed by Hunter Beast that would render an estimated 5.6 million Bitcoin — including Satoshi Nakamoto's untouched stash — unspendable after a hard cutoff date.Supporters call it the only realistic defense against Shor's algorithm and a future quantum adversary capable of cracking legacy P2PKH keys. Critics call it a precedent-shattering attack on Bitcoin immutability — a civil war brewing inside Core. We walk through both sides.🎙️ THE SHOWCanadian Bitcoiners Podcast is a weekly show covering Bitcoin, macro, freedom tech, and Canadian news with a hard-money lens.
