Firstly, we need to think of why these people find it difficult to accept that something is replacing something they’ve worked with for the past years. Profit. Those who make, write, or distribute newspapers have probably lost their jobs when news can be pretty much checked in just one click through our phones. Same with those who made CDs and DVDs. I remember there were a lot of DVD stores in malls full of VHS tapes for you to buy from but now they are nowhere to be found. That’s because of platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, and etc. They can’t accept that their source of income is now being replaced by something else.
Well the bitcoin generation are a different generation than those that came before. I am sure that we are much more open to changes and advancement. I, for one, have always thought that at some point bitcoin will be replaced by something newer and better but that’s not our generation to worry about. That’s going to come a long time.

We like it or not new innovations will surely come and accept it or not if it is better than the previous development other people will accept it and make use of it and if they think it is better it will gradually replace the old technology. So it is everywhere and i think if anything beats bitcoins technology and provides better services people will gradually shift to the new technology so it is only a matter of time before new technologies are developed because nothing lasts forever.

Bitcoin is here to stay for a long time and before any new technology replaces it that’s if they can’t coexist together, I believe it will be a long time and I might be long gone by then to worry about if I will accept the new technology or not. I am skeptical about accepting any new technology that tries to replace bitcoin, I am not sure how the bitcoin community will react but I am sure it will not be easy for them seeing their most beloved technology being surpassed and replaced but we all have to put in mind that innovation is inevitable and someday a new advanced technology might emerge before us and we should not make the same mistakes of missing out on new revolutionary technology and not be among early adopters like we did with bitcoin.

now bitcoin is seen more of a mainstream thing now almost everyone knows about it but certainly not everyone uses it or accepts it until now but back then there was even lesser amount of people who accepted or even acknowledged bitcoin so those who believed in bitcoin are the ones who are ready to accept new tech and be accepting of any kind of advancement

like they say the early bird takes the worm and i believe that we bitcoin community will not stop at bitcoin trying to find what is next for the future and how can we take it for our benefit?

We love Bitcoin and the technology for what it has to offer, so I don't think anyone who likes Bitcoin would criticize another system that would offer what it offers and something more. We accepted Bitcoin and blockchain technology because we have been seeing the traditional financial systems for centuries, and we know the flaws and everything they have. Bitcoin isn't flawless, but it's at least better than what exists right now, and I'm sure if another system is introduced that beats it, people will give it more importance than Bitcoin, but only if it truly is better than it, and not just for saying.

What we criticize are systems that are compared with Bitcoin while they don't even come near it. We have been using the system for years, and we know what it is and how good or bad it is, but it is not something that we will prioritize over something that is better than it; at least, I won't do that; not sure about others.

People who aren't ready to accept Bitcoin are still living in the past, or they have trust issues because most people with vintage mindsets think something that doesn't exist physically can't be trusted.

The main problem here is that people have not yet fully realized what Bitcoin is.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is too early to talk about the emergence of a technology (entity) that will replace the first cryptocurrency.

What is Bitcoin? Modern digital money? Your own bank in your pocket? A protocol for transferring value in virtual space? A global reserve currency? A type of digital asset? Digital gold? A component of the gold and foreign exchange reserves of central banks?

Different people perceive this entity differently.... A clear understanding of what Bitcoin is (what kind of entity it is) will not be formed soon.

And only then will it be possible to think about the technology that will replace the first cryptocurrency.

There are two main factors: the human being is a creature of habit so it takes time to change his mind. At the same time we are now living in a world that moves and changes at a speed never seen before. Just look at the examples you brought: in the last 20 years we changed from VHS to DVD and then to Blu-ray, and now there are streaming services. The newer generations are more used to these changes because the world around them keeps changing, for them it's normal. So if there will ever be a better bitcoin people will switch to it but bitcoin is unique because it's decentralized. So the question is there will ever be a new Satoshi, and not a new bitcoin.

The examples you gave are the good ones but those have nothing to do with Bitcoin or its technology. I know that there's chance to see even better payment methods than Bitcoin that might get more famous than Bitcoin, and may work via new technology standards that we don't know yet, but still Bitcoin will be there even at those times.

Bitcoin will always remain as the king of the crypto world and nothing will be able to replace it. Gold has been there for many many years and yet it isn't replaced and same is the case with Bitcoin. Leave gold aside, Amazon as a e-commerce company has been in the market for many years and yet it's not replaced.
