Questions about your cold wallets rotation

"If secp256k1 will be broken, then:

1. All Taproot addresses could be spend by key.
2. All hash-based addresses could be spent, if the public key is revealed (so if a transaction is in mempool, or if there were previous transactions in past blocks). If the public key is unknown, then those coins will be unaffected."
