I wish i had enough knowledge to understand this threat, but i don’t nostr:note1wlwlsr2d3k05l0huzzpaudkg9yqrmesvp7vcwv5kc98zh9kekazs4nnlw9

I started reading and then saw it was coming from Deloitte and well, I stopped wasting my time.
There is no quantum computer threat in foreseeable future, not in out lifetimes for sure imo
Achieving widespread agreement among experts or the plebs on a specific timeframe for the emergence of a quantum threat to Bitcoin remains challenging. It's an evolving & intriguing area where varied viewpoints & uncertainty are prevalent…
IMO, it’s not a serious concern. Humanity may eventually invent this technology, but there would be signs, and we could take steps.
The first sign that anyone had a functional, ECDSA-reversing, quantum computer is movement of super old coins. Like Satoshi’s coins. These represent a huge bounty for would-be quantum pirates.
If we were concerned about this possibility, we could softfork in additional, quantum-resistant signature schemes and start to move coins to them.
‘Quantum pirates’ gives it a noble edge
