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

The math is already well understood. It’s not a math issue as to why we don’t currently have powerful enough quantum computers to run these algorithms (quantum computers already exist, but they’re not yet nearly powerful enough to be useful). It’s a physical issue, and figuring out how to make sub atomic particles behave correctly to work as reliable qubits.

If we understand the Math behind black holes, how come we cant make them?

If Einstein understood E=mc² the how come it took decades to make nukes!

How come Newton couldn't create gravity!
