Quantum computing will break Bitcoin, but not in your lifetime. You will be dead and satoshi left tools to fight it.

You are correct that quantum computing presents a future challenge. Bitcoin’s robust, decentralized design enables the community to adapt its cryptographic foundations proactively, addressing such threats long before they become critical.

I doubt the timeframe would be that far ahead, but I think when the threat becomes genuine enough bitcoin will be able to adapt. And consensus is hard enough to build that its not likely to be too rushed

Hopefully Im not too naive, I definitely felt I may have been as I typed it lol

Consensus in this context is an incredibly novel thing
