It’s apparent that in the future, a quantum computer will be able to break the cryptography of old addresses that have not moved to new quantum resistant addresses. It would be nice if a Bitcoin organization will use a quantum computer to move those coins back to the blockchain, so that they can be re-mined properly to be redistributed to a new generation of Bitcoiners that understand how to properly protect their Bitcoin. Still only 21 mil. Will ever exist.

Yep, so maybe Satoshi knew that the cryptography protecting Bitcoin could one day be cracked. So Satoshi burned the private keys in Satoshi’s possession, and left it up to the future community to figure out how to handle it. The program could be changed to forever keep all lost keys from ever being accessed. A miner cannot mine a non quantum resistant address after any Private key cryptography is broken. Old addresses Lost forever. Or, somehow released in an equitable fashion back into the community.
