Adam Back Opposes Freezing 4 Million Inactive BTC as Quantum "Q-Day" Debate Intensifies

Adam Back, Blockstream's CEO, pushed back on proposals to freeze about 4 million inactive BTC as concerns grow over a potential quantum-computing "Q-Day." The debate, which also involves analyst Willy Woo, centers on whether Bitcoin should block spending from older vulnerable addresses or leave the protocol unchanged even if quantum attackers could access lost coins.
