because eventually addresses will be cracked.

That very assertion leads to different conclusions. It's confusing, because there isn't anything to be "cracked"; only hash collisions, at least if there are no public keys revealed. Addresses "being cracked" nearly instantly versus "being cracked" in a few years is a tangible difference. Also, solving the ECDLP will happen far sooner than the former, which will likely thrive us to a hard fork.

I know that quantum computing is being worked on and will be a real thing far sooner than the experts predict.

Do you happen to have any papers that describe this "speed-up" in quantum computing's work, that will lead to bitcoin's death before 2032?
