I was reading a news article saying that bitcoins will not be safe once we have powerful quantum computers. Is there a good alternative way to store bitcoins safely in such a situation  ?
The quantum computers threat I learnt is real but not urgent. I read about how Bitcoin developers are already researching address types that could be quantum-resistant and that I think  is reassuring enough for us not to panic.

For now, smart storage practices like to store your BTC in addresses that haven’t been spent from or in cold wallets so your public key stays hidden I think can be the safest measures to take. When quantum tech becomes a real threat, there are high chances that the Bitcoin network will upgrade so much it'll have little effect on Bitcoin users. So I don't think there's need to panic yet instead, we just stay have stay informed at all times.
