It has at least one fatal flaw: the math it is based on. I feel like it won't be too long before a few major weaknesses are found and bitcoin will lose all security.

Bitcoin has been running since 2009 with plenty of incentive for hackers to find flaws in it and they haven't found any. It uses standard cryptography that is used by all our computer systems. If a flaw exists it's not just bitcoin that will be damaged but everything we use.
