If Bitcoin adapts to become quantum resistant then no doubt other form of computing will emerge and then Bitcoin will adapt, the cycle will continue.
Maybe a couple of decades from now, in the end it might be a case of Bitcoin not having a way to protect itself and it simply becomes overpowered by the threats that emerge - who knows.

That's the 'Bitcoin Game' and that cycle will never end. All "lost" coins in the old system will be activated in the new system. The first change to quantum resistant system will activate all lost P2PK coins. The next update will be a change from hashing system and will activate all lost coins, and so on.
