The value of cryptography can depend on how long you need to keep a secret. It may be possible to crack in 25 years as computers become more powerful, but will it matter then? I need to read up on what difference quantum computers make, but they are at a very early stage for now. Could Bitcoin migrate to new algorithms that are less vulnerable?

Personally, i think that Bitcoin would have to go through many hard-forks and changes to be Quantum Proof! But it paves way for newer improved Cryptocurrencies. Time has yet to tell if there is need for a change as for now we may keep the threat of Quantum Computing Aside while also working on ways we can minize security risks for Cryptology and Encryption
