Absolutely. US NIST and US White House both agree, too: https://www.nist.gov/news-events/news/2024/08/nist-releases-first-3-finalized-post-quantum-encryption-standards
If I'm not mistaken, lots of existing tools already use post-quantum encryption (PQE), like Chrome, Apple iMessage, Telegram, Signal, Mullvad, etc., so it feels like those who are not adopting will be slow gazelles.
I’m relieved that Hunter Beast is working on BIPs for quantum resistant BTC address types, but I just hope Core and the community start engaging: https://github.com/cryptoquick/bips/blob/p2qrh/bip-p2qrh.mediawiki
For a decade or so, it was FUD, but quantum tech is advancing rapidly, so the time has come to start engaging.

I thought hard fork would be required for this.
