This is essentially a guess that P probably = NP.

Way more likely is that every existing cryptocurrency implementation contains bugs outside of the core cryptographic algorithm that would allow stealing coins without having to break that encryption. Cybersecurity is an arms race, as it always has been.

a specific hardness assumption is much less general than P=NP, in case you are interested in hardness assumptions and not only P vs NP
