I only know you from what you say. Clearly you're uninformed about the progress toward cold fusion.

For someone involved in bitcoin, allegedly, since 2011 you seem woefully unaware of the work that has been done on quantum resistant addresses and mining in Bitcoin.

You also seem unaware of what would be required to do such an upgrade. You say something quite naïve like "it might be painful at first". How exactly do you propose we change the mining algorithm out on a running blockchain? Just tell the global mining community to throw away their asics and start building new chips that run a quantum resistant algorithm?

You sound like a guy who read some media hype headlines about quantum computers, got scared, and ran to twitter to create a moment to "make bitcoin quantum resistant" with little to no understanding of the work that has been done so far nor the practical implications of doing so

This is my last post in this thread. I'm not going to continue trying to have a good-faith, civil discussion with someone who has done nothing but make baseless assumptions about me, and engage in insulting commentary. You're clearly a self-important asshole, and I have no patience for people like you. You are beneath me and not worth my time. And you're blocked so you might as well just kick rocks.

Good faith? You claim to be involved in Bitcoin since 2011 which is almost certainly a lie. Nothing that you've said is good faith, it's just hyperbolic panic over something you don't really understand. I was trying to help you understand that better but your fear has blinded you.

You should sell your bitcoin now because there is a 0% chance the algorithms will be swapped out for a quantum resistant anytime soon.
