You obviously have no idea how bcrypt works; go search for "bcrypt work factor". In other words, making bcrypt slower while remaining secure is a matter of changing the work factor.

(This doesn't preclude bcrypt falling from grace for having - as of yet undiscovered - other security flaws; but it is designed with Moore's Law in mind. Saying "I don't know why everyone praises bcrypt, but HEY LOOK AT ME REBELLING, BCRYPT SUXXORZ!" is not very effective.)
