I don't think bitcoin will be stable, because there have been tooo many breakthroughs with decrypting RSA lately. While the RSA challange has not been claimed yet, there are too many governments and organizations that want to break it to keep it going, and that's IF they want you to know they broke it.

Abstract: To factor an integer N we construct n triples of pn-smooth integers u,v,|u−vN| for the n-th prime pn. Denote such triple a fac-relation. We get fac-relations from a nearly shortest vector of the lattice L(Rn,f) with basis matrix Rn,f∈R(n+1)×(n+1) where f:[1,n]→[1,n] is a permutation of [1,2,…,n] and (f(1),…,f(n),N′lnN) is the diagonal and (N′lnp1,…,N′lnpn,N′lnN) for N′=N1n+1 is the last line of Rn,f. An independent permutation f′ yields an independent fac-relation. We find sufficiently short lattice vectors by strong primal-dual reduction of Rn,f. We factor N≈2400 by n=47 and N≈2800 by n=95. Our accelerated strong primal-dual reduction of [GN08] factors integers N≈2400 and N≈2800 by 4.2⋅109 and 8.4⋅1010 arithmetic operations, much faster then the quadratic sieve and the number field sieve and using much smaller primes pn. This destroys the RSA cryptosystem.

This destroys the RSA cryptosystem.

It's a bold claim, but if the cryptosystem is not destroyed, then it sure as hell is not healthy. Note the time frame for this thesis, around this time was when a major crypto dump hit and we have been seeing Wyckoff distributions ever since.
