On April 16, Bitcoin core developer Jameson Lopp recently stated that rather than allowing quantum computing attackers to steal long-dormant bitcoins in the future, it would be better to freeze them. Approximately 5.6 million BTC (about 28% of the total supply) have not moved for over a decade and are likely permanently lost, valued at around $42 billion. If these dormant coins were to be hacked by quantum computers and enter the market, it could trigger severe volatility and market panic, potentially damaging confidence in the Bitcoin network. Lopp emphasized that this is not the outcome he wishes to see, but rather a pragmatic measure against a potential existential threat; he prefers to make these 'lost' coins unusable by attackers. The BIP-361 proposal he is involved in aims to gradually phase out the current quantum-vulnerable signature mechanism and encourage users to upgrade their wallets by invalidating transactions from unmoved wallets. This idea is still in its early stages, and he himself has stated that he 'doesn't like' this solution and hopes it will never need to be implemented, but believes that overall network security is more important than strict immutability principles in the face of quantum threats.

On April 15, in response to US President Trump's expressed dissatisfaction with the US-UK 'special relationship', UK Prime Minister Starmer stated that the UK would not be dragged into a US-Iran war and would 'not compromise'. In a recent interview with Sky News, Trump commented on the current state of the US-UK 'special relationship', saying, 'When we need them (the UK) for help, they are not there; when we need them, they are not there; when we don’t need them, they are still not there. They are still not there now.' Trump mentioned that the US had previously offered the UK a good trade deal, 'better than what I was originally supposed to give', but that this deal 'could be modified at any time'.

Starmer emphasized that despite facing significant pressure, he would not change his mind and 'would not compromise'. (Xinhua)
