I disagree about fork choice. People will choose a version of bitcoin where there is zero human governance over coin issuance and coin ownership. If my bet is wrong there is very little value left in bitcoin as a system.
It doesn't matter if Bitcoin "looks like chumps" or whatever. It matters that it has integrity as a system. "Miraculously" it has somehow maintained that for a long time.
I do agree though that it'll be a disaster if we don't have any viable migration by the time QC hits, but, meh, it seems ridiculously far off. Glad some people are working on it.
