Can we talk about quantum threat to bitcoin?
I understand that it is years away, but won't it take years to upgrade bitcoin? Isn't this where we need to be focused instead of waiting until its a real threat?
Most of you on here are much more informed than I am. What's the current status on the quantum threat to bitcoin and potential long-term solutions?

There is no threat at the physics level.
The “threat” is a story of trust and upgrades; a story appended to an inherited idea of what a quantum computer is; rather than objectively looking at the one right in front of you that’s been a running since1/3/2009.
Bitcoin is the threat to the centralized quantum models. The proof is in the work; go verify it.
