"A CRQC is an existential threat to Bitcoin (you might believe this is very low-likehood). Your measurement of this threat should literally be:

(A) How likely you think it is a CRQC appears by a given time, multiplied by (B) How likely it is you think Bitcoin will not successfully upgrade by that time."

It would interesting to survey people about their answers.

My off the cuff answer is:

2030: A=0.05, B=0.01

2035: A=0.50, B=0.001

2045: A=~1.0, B=~0.0

I reserve the right to change my mind on these answers at any point. This is not a serious prediction.
