Arbitrarily deciding when to freeze peoples’ coins against a threat that has an unknown arrival time is irresponsible. I don’t disagree with adding quantum key schemes. I disagree with freezing peoples’ coins.

Waiting too long until it is too late is irresponsible.

Someone dumping stolen coins won’t kill bitcoin..

Setting a precedent that devs can alter account balances during “emergencies” is a much bigger long-term threat, especially if the “emergency” hasn’t arrived yet.

It’s a very dangerous precedent that should be resisted despite a price drop from someone dumping coins — minimizing the power devs wield is far more important. Nomos operates off of precedents, whether it’s legal or social consensus.
