You… can.

Once people catch wind of bitcoin being moved from secure places, nodes will cease processing transactions, quantum capable thieves will be frozen

Network will upgrade if it hasnt already, nodes will only process transactions on the network with the most other nodes

They might even resume from a few block back. No different than branching from an old commit

If this doesnt match your philosophy of legitimacy, you can try continuing in the orphanage chain and get other nodes to join you. May the longest chain win!

This has all been theorized before and has subsequently happened before and the resolution has given confidence to attract more capital.
