Bitcoin developers propose a hard fork, called Quantum-Resistant Address Migration Protocol (QRAMP), to protect the cryptocurrency from quantum computing threats.
The hard fork requires users to transfer their funds to quantum-resistant wallets before a specific date, with unclaimed coins becoming unusable if not moved.
The proposal sparks controversy over potentially losing coins, including those held in inactive wallets, such as Satoshi Nakamoto's.
The migration to quantum-resistant wallets is seen as a preemptive action to safeguard Bitcoin from potential future quantum attacks and enhance cryptographic security.
