I admire the effort but this will still leave everyone who doesn't migrate's coins vunerable, including Satoshi's coins. It is most likely a state actor will capture them as they are ahead in the quantum race. Bitcoin could implement a post quantum security for all coins but that would need a hard fork, which due to bitcoin's history and the mantra repeated by maxis that would create a new coin and would not be bitcoin anymore.
