If there's a quantum attack, and I'm specifically betting that there will be, nobody will be able to prove what they own. The chain will die.

Well you have a lot more to worry about in 10 years than blockchains getting hacked if you believe that.
The world will never be ready for the scenario that you're predicting in <=10 years. If you truly believe that timeline enough to bet money on it, you damn well should be burying gold, stocking up on canned goods, digging a well, and amassing a stockpile of firearms today. No sarcasm.
I mean, I'm a bear on ~everything crypto, but I no longer think it will go away just because it is stupid, useless or wasteful. I don't think it will reshape or replace anything, but I'd almost be shocked if it "fizzled out" in the next ten years.
People are still paying good money for homeopathic remedies; you think they'll wise up about crypto any faster?
