One thing I dont understand in the whole discussion; if RSA or ECC are compromised in the future, we can upgrade existing systems of course (and well have to ... whole PKI will come tumbling down), but wont this make dormant wallets vulnerable? How are we going to prevent someone stealing the funds from there? Otherwise that will cause a huge drop in the value of Bitcoin. We cant put a wrapper or something around those wallets, right?
I am a tech guy, not an economist, so not sure if my reasoning makes sense!
