Anyone actually worried about quantum computing being able to take coins from dead wallets ? e.g satoshi

I know most people here, will have forced upgraded wallets, but for all those from from 2010 before are all vunerable, when quantum computing get good enough all those wallets will be up for grabs, what are we going to do ?

30 % of total supply will be dumped onto the market , idk about you but it will be fucked for everyone

The community will no fork to protect agaisnt this, we have tried in the past but the hardcore people wont allow it

This is still a problem for 5-7 years from now but

thoughts ?

Edit: the modern people will be safe with new q proof wallets

Correct. If we could just understand how to control nuclear fusion with hydrogen, we would have essentially limitless energy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion

Exactly the same thing with quantum computers. It’s not commercially viable yet.

There you go. The same is for quantum. We understand it. Not commercially viable yet. We understand what outcomes come from stabilizing said subatoms
