In brief Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says the latest Bitcoin improvement proposal won’t be able to save all the Bitcoin vulnerable to quantum computing. The proposal would block, then freeze old coins, across three phases before a potential recovery could take place for those that missed deadlines. Hoskinson says at least 1.7 million coins, from before 2013, would still be at risk of being stolen. A new Bitcoin improvement proposal dubbed BIP-361 seeks to save as much as 34% of Bitcoin’s supply—or more than 7 million coins valued at $536 billion—by freezing coins that don’t migrate to quantum-resistant addresses in…
