"... because it would affect their own encryption...", another fallacy: appeal to rationality. He's assuming that there aren't powerful entities that either don't grasp or just don't care about the fallout.
Who are these powerful entities that will not understand it but yet have the ability to use it? Terrorist groups aren't developing it. States are not developing. Companies are developing it. They understand what they are working on and the fallout.
The real question is if quantum is actually going to ever happen. I'm still unsure.
Would you risk it all if the fix is a softfork with a new witness program?
I don't know, you didn't answer my question.
Oh I didn't understand that the question was meant for those of us that didn't make the statement. But I'll entertain it:

I don't believe this. What I think is that there are powerful entities that play a long game, where short-term crises can be anticipated and even prevented, and long-term gains positioned accordingly. Also, no point in stealing coins that will go to 0, so you'd do one or a couple big-but-not-"patoshi" utxo(s) per week.
Bottom line, I don't think that trusting Google, IBM or Microsoft is a good solution to a threat. Also, these can be infiltrated / hacked.

My bad, distracted. Mistake.

Agree with you there.
Yes. I think this is why it's good that there's some traction building up.
We're 3-5 breakthroughs away from danger and you cannot predict who is going to make them.
good remark regarding the main focus.
Here's the segment [1] for reference:
Can't help but feel that the article overly focuses on hyperbole and less on the underlying message.The main takeaway I got from the segment is "if it becomes a real threat, upgrade the protocol", which is the one thing I don't hear anyone objecting to.
