Despite QC currently being unable to break Bitcoin, the community doesn't take it for granted. There's already work in progress on Quantum Resistant Cryptography.
Indeed. Thing is... there's MASSIVE incentives to crack bitcoin's cryptography so we have a pretty good canary in the coal mine. Another reason to not have concern about bitcoin is when you realize that the resources required to supposedly run these computations is so massive it can only be done by companies with massive budgets and research teams. Even if it becomes possible to crack the encryption the proliferation of the machines that can do it will be very limited.
