The real question is what happens when the trolls run out of stupid questions. Is there a limitless supply of stupid questions? And if that is the case, how can they hold any value?
Trolls are like fiat, they just keep making them!

Given the current price of Bitcoins, the motivation for people to search for an create exploits is much larger.
The motivation for the worlds most talented hackers and software individuals has existed all along and they have been extremely busy trying to find exploits.

If Bitcoin was compromised now, could it recover?
Depends on the nature of the compromise. The encryption part is solid, the network is more vulnerable but any issues are recoverable, we'd get to see the bear market of 11 all over again, if you don't get caught, that's not a bad thing.CVE-2010-5139

Bitcoin was completely subverted once, but it was sufficiently early in its development that the problem could be rolled back and there was no lasting damage. Given the current price of Bitcoins, the motivation for people to search for an create exploits is much larger. If Bitcoin was compromised now, could it recover?
