Bitcoin developers and crypto advocates are debating how to handle Satoshi Nakamoto’s early Bitcoin holdings. Advocates argue that touching Satoshi’s coins could weaken the network’s core ownership promise. Quantum risks have revived the debate over old Bitcoin wallets and security planning. Developers support post-quantum research but reject forced action against dormant Satoshi-linked coins. Thorn from Galaxy Digital believes that Satoshi’s coins should remain untouched to protect Bitcoin’s property rights and value. The debate focuses on early Pay-to-Public-Key Bitcoin addresses, with concerns about potential threats from quantum computing. Thorn argues that moving or stealing Satoshi’s coins could create panic, but the Bitcoin market has handled large sell-offs before. Developers continue to study post-quantum tools to protect users against quantum threats.
