As per the title of this reddit thread, there are only two routes to take when entering a post quantum world: Freezing or Seizing. It's also important for us to have these conversations without vitriol, contempt, or memes for someone with an opposing perspective.

Personally, I've been too busy with my 3 jobs and trying to pay the bills to really pay attention to what is going on in this area of the bitcoin sphere. This also, technically isn't really my problem since my bitcoin is in a post-quantum-enabled wallet address. Last I checked, there was a drafted BIP proposal from Jameson Lopp that suggests we lock a group of wallet addresses that encompasses "satoshi era" wallets. These start with a specific prefix, denoted by the table here: https://imgur.com/a/iMMWc1r

This is less than 1% of all bitcoin wallet addresses, citing Jameson Lopp in a speech from a year prior. 1% is not a lot of wallet addresses. Some people estimate that between 3 to 6 million bitcoin were completely forgotten about by early miners from 2009 to 2012 when it was relatively easy to get a block reward of 50 BTC. If we see those stolen and sold it could cause a black swan and we could get cheaper bitcoin, right?

More concretely, however, the hypotheticals below are worth discussing:

1. A company claims to have reached quantum supremacy. Should they or should they not demonstrate they can move satoshi's coins and send them to a quantum-proof burner wallet as an altruistic and harmless demonstration of power?
   
2. A guy threw away his PC in 2010. He mined 10,000 BTC. He still knows the wallet address. Should he or should he not team up with a quantum-supreme company to recover those 10,000 BTC?
   
3. North Korea / Russia / Iran build a quantum PC that can get Satoshi's coins. Should they or should they not steal the coins and use them as they please?
   
4. Silk-road era bitcoin wallets stopped moving btc after the dark net marketplace was shut down. Some of it was sellers who changed their ways. Some of it was addicts (some of which who got clean, others who didnt). They want to recover their BTC, so they team up with some quantum computing enterprises to recover their BTC. Should they be able to?
   

In conclusion, the dichotomy is "Freezing or Seizing" and no in-between. Which should be done and why do you think so?
