This is a great summary of the arguments for and against burning coins that do not (eventually) upgrade to a quantum resistant signature scheme. I hadn’t considered the possibility that anyone had a choice in the matter, but the more I think about it, the more I am in favor of burning quantum vulnerable coins.
In my latest essay I weigh in on the controversial issue of how to deal with quantum vulnerable bitcoin in a post-quantum future.
