My latest talk, on the threat of quantum computing advancements to Bitcoin, is now available. Key takeaway: one way or another, whether we do something or do nothing, inviolable properties of Bitcoin will eventually be violated.

All inviolable properties can be raised to the quatum level. Like quantum encryption. And then they again become inviolable

Satoshi won't likely be around to upgrade his keys. Same with all the other lost coins.
If you were the first to have a QC capable of hacking satoshi’s stash wouldn’t the play be to move it into a QC resistant address and sit on it ? How could anyone know for sure it wasn’t satoshi that moved it out of caution ?
