Techub News reports that, according to CoinDesk, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that Bitcoin's quantum resistance proposal BIP-361 was mischaracterized as a soft fork, when in fact it is closer to a hard fork, conflicting with Bitcoin's anti-hard fork culture. He believes that the proposal's zero-knowledge recovery mechanism cannot protect approximately 1.7 million early bitcoins, including about 1 million attributed to Satoshi Nakamoto, because these bitcoins were created before the advent of BIP-39 mnemonic phrases. Hoskinson said that if BIP-361 is adopted as-is, it will permanently freeze these early tokens, and he considers this controversy to demonstrate that Bitcoin lacks formal on-chain governance, making it difficult to manage high-risk protocol upgrades.
