The quantum threat to legacy P2PK and P2PKH outputs is wildly exaggerated
Even assuming the absolute worst case where every single legacy UTXO is exposed
It would take less than a single day to migrate 95% of the at-risk supply to safe addresses
50% of the risk sits in just 13.5k UTXOs which clears in 30 minutes
80% is in 56k UTXOs which clears in under 3 hours
95% is in 451k UTXOs which is about 18 hours of block space
The network can process a full migration of the concentrated wealth effortlessly
There is no crisis here
