Don't worry about Bitcoin, a small niche. The world will have BIGGER problems to worry about with the arrival of quantum computers. Hahaha.

The world will be able to fix the quantum issue and implement a quantum secure mode through rewinding, freezing, correcting accounts. But Bitcoin can't and that will lead to forks.


I'm confident that the community will come into consensus to hard fork, if the threat of quantum computers will be the "death of Bitcoin". It will not be close to a debate.

i wouldn't be so sure about that!
we are talking about a major change with a hard fork and it is not like there is only one solution that everyone could jump on board. there is a ton of different things that will cause a ton of drama. for starters which algorithm to choose? and worst of all what to do with coins that won't move such as outputs that were made in early years such as 2009 (naively referred to as Satoshi's coins). should we burn them? you see there is a lot of room for debates.

What do mean satoshi coins ( Are BTC Test Coins) ?  Who has balance until 2009 the balance on the wallets were frozen?
