The quantum freeze debate is funny because depending on how you phrase the goal you come away with two kinda-opposite views.
“Ensure people are able to keep their coins” and “don’t allow for any freezing of peoples coins” sound like the same goal, but in fact they’re opposite!
The first one says that you should freeze with the maximum possible ways to recover (BIP 32+seedphrase proofs for new wallets, pre-Q-day commitments to allow patoshi to retain ownership without spending immediately, PQC migration with a disable-EC path, etc).
The second one actually minimizes the number of people who get to keep their coins, maximizing theft exposure but in doing so avoids any forks with philosophical challenges.(Matt Corallo 🟠)
