If there was a vulnerability in ECDSA/Schnorr (maybe because of a quantum computer but it can be any other reason - lattice attacks, etc.) and there would be alternative - new safe locking scripts - and people would start moving their coins into them.
What do you think would happen to those UTXOs that don't move at all (lost coins/Satoshi’s coins/etc.)?
Do you think the consensus would be to let them be stolen
OR to soft-fork them out (remove from circulation - e.g. “you have 10 years to move your UTXOs, otherwise they will become invalid”)?
The first option is better in my opinion but flooding the market with so many coins could be massively disruptive.
The second option would probably not be able to reach consensus but the effect on price would not be so disastrous.
Some people touched this in the following thread but I didn't want to continue there as this was a little bit off topic:
