How realistic is the quantum threat to Bitcoin within the next few years?

Not trying to spread FUD, but I’ve been reading about how sufficiently advanced quantum computers could theoretically break ECDSA (the signature scheme Bitcoin uses), so I’m trying to understand:

- Are we even close to the kind of fault-tolerant quantum machines needed to do that?

- Would only exposed public keys be at risk?

- Could Bitcoin realistically soft-fork to quantum-resistant signatures before it becomes a problem?

- Is this more “interesting academic risk” or “eventual inevitability”?
