In my latest essay I weigh in on the controversial issue of how to deal with quantum vulnerable bitcoin in a post-quantum future.

After great consideration, I think it's best if we burn quantum vulnerable coins.

If I have lost sats (which I do), I'd want to be able to hire a quantum service engineer to unlock them for me.

What makes you think that said engineer has any better chance at recovering them for you than anyone else who would just keep the sats for themselves?

But if they are stolen before I can get to them, I guess that's my fault for not moving them to quantum resistant addresses when those become available.

Even with QC, you still need to know where to look.
