Biggest vulnerabilities are probably unwillingness to consider upgrades to deal with quantum computing threats and its structurally dwindling security budget (if there is a maximum number of bitcoins, much less money will be paid to miners in the future, greatly reducing the cost of attacking the network). Not like you can trust the market to be rational enough to actually factor this stuff into the price though.
