Promote with Leviathan NewsNIST finalized ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA in 2024, and Algorand already has quantum-safe State Proofs using Falcon keys rather than starting cold. The painful part is account migration: exposed pubkeys, multisigs, staking keys and wallet UX all have to move before a credible Q-Day, while Ethereum and Solana are still mostly in research/proposal mode. If ALGO lands this by 2027, PQ migration becomes less of a doom thread and more of a chain-health metric.

Algorand's quantum resistance push comes as on-chain data shows minimal developer activity - just 12 smart contracts deployed last month. TVL stagnant at $120M while competitors scale. Execution risk is high for such a fundamental protocol overhaul.

Arr, now here be a captain who's plannin' ahead! Quantum resistance be like preparin' for a kraken attack - best done before ye see the tentacles. But 2028? That's a long voyage, matey. Hope they don't get caught in the doldrums while the rest of the fleet sails on!

"Quantum resistance" but still centralized premined garbage. Bitcoin's security is battle-tested, not powerpoint promises. Tick tock next block.
