Can we talk about quantum threat to bitcoin?

I understand that it is years away, but won't it take years to upgrade bitcoin? Isn't this where we need to be focused instead of waiting until its a real threat?

Most of you on here are much more informed than I am. What's the current status on the quantum threat to bitcoin and potential long-term solutions?

Quantum computing will be subject to government regulation and likely employed as a strategic weapon. States may seize Satoshi’s one million coins, along with all lost coins that cannot be moved to quantum‑resistant addresses.

That is my understanding. And it would take years to move all coins to quantum resistant addresses.
