The problem that Bitcoin relies on being hard (with regards to the proof of work, not addresses) is different from the one e.g. the standard PKI relies on being hard. It's not very likely the hashes would be broken by an advance in quantum computing; there are some sub-exponential speed ups that have been explored but nothing that would break the blockchain. It would be more akin to the movement from GPUs to ASICs. |
