Right.
And I think the answer is pretty obvious, is that people are going to black hole the coins.
We're going to delete the coins?
We're going to delete the coins.
And I think it's really obvious that that's going to be the answer.
Nobody's going to agree that that's the answer until the 11th hour.
But it's just so obvious that, one, that's in everyone's incentive.
Nobody really wants a quantum adversary to crack billions and billions and billions of dollars of Bitcoin and solely sell them.
And it's just kind of what everybody...
already expects his status quo, which is that Satoshi's not coming back.
He's not going to pick up these coins.
If he can, then he will and do a post-quantum transition along with everybody else.
If he doesn't, we kind of know that Satoshi's not here or has lost the keys to those coins.
So I sort of think this is going to be a little bit like a government shutdown thing where everyone's going to be like, oh no, oh heavens me, no, we can't do that.
Oh no, no, no.
But then like right at the 11th hour, people are going to be like, oh, well, okay, fine.
We'll black all those coins and then we'll all move on and we'll never talk about this ever again.
I mean, people will get over this, right?
People will get over this.
Like the reality is that, look, if Satoshi is here, he can go protect his property rights by upgrading his coins.
