no one can crack bitcoin. because the security system is very good and no single layman can do that, except the bitcoin maker itself, he is satosi nakamoto
I think hackers cannot get through the blockchain, because if they can they have done it already. Look at bitcoin now it's still going stronger everyday.
It has been told from to time by the cryptoexperts that bitcoins are always safe with blockchain. Bitcoin is a decentralised peer to peer exchange currency each and every trade is verified by its miners again and again. So it is almost impossible to break blockchain and steal bitcoins. Still bitcoin get stolen, but from the bitcoin wallets. Bitcoin wallet users are not serious about their wallet security. Lapses in security of wallet allows hackers to your bitcoin wallet and stole your precious currency.
The Bitcoin crypto currency was designed in such a way by Satoshi Nakamoto that even the expert hackers could not crack an individual's private key. Although there have been many stories that said millions of worth coins were stolen/hacked etc.. they were actually the accounts that got hacked and not the private keys cracked. Many exchanges and email accounts have been hacked till date due to the lack of security but no one has ever cracked a private key yet and most probably nobody in the coming decades will ever be able to crack the keys. So consider it almost impossible to crack BTC.

It has been said on that forum many times that bitcoin protocol (probably) cannot be cracked, it was peer reviewed many many times by many skilled developers and there were none significant flaws discovered. The danger here (if it exists at all) is just very very theoretical one.
What can be hacked, and it has been happening over and over many times before, is your computer or your wallet on your computer or any online wallet provider. You should secure your bitcoins against those threats, as they are real. So buy a hardware wallet and use it. It is currently the easiest, most secure and very affordable way to safeguard your founds.
