We live in a world where the near-ish future could bring us asteroid mining. Something that could devastate the rarity of abundance of gold.

That is true, and this should really factor in the decline of gold in the future, but this does not help Bitcoin against it's e-coins rivals.

And isn't Bitcoin hackable in a near-ish future with quantum computing?

[lsadam0]

Yes, in it’s current state it most certainly is. Though as I recall there are already proposed updates to address this threat.

I have been hearing that for last 15 years.
