There is also a future problem. Quantum computers could crack bitcoin. The block chain itself to rearrange the history of transactions to change balances or just attack individual wallets which would be easier, obviously, the ones attacked would have the largest amount of bitcoin.

This is about 10 years off, but possibly sooner with the individual wallet attacks.

Of course this is a problem with all cryptography and new codes are being developed to be more quantum resistant. Bitcoin as it is is doomed though.

You can be sure 'they' have it now.

They can probably crack it but they would never use it or it would be released and collapse everything. So if they can crack it, there is an easy solution. Double or triple the key size. It all comes down to the complexity of the problem and it is very easy to make it more complex.
