I would rather say that BTC is the most resilient coin out there, it would describe it more properly, imo.

BTC doesn't need to be something that would bring results in a day or so and break through with technology and hype - it should just stay on its course and adapt if needed, that would put it in the best position possible.

Because alts search for profit, not some set of ideals or concepts to push for - unfortunate, yet logical.

Because it's natural that everything that was done after BTC saw through the ideas that can be utilized and be profited from (in the perspective), whereas BTC shot high, without knowing whether it would pay off or not.

Bitcoin never dies I agree with you. Technological Durability We know that the distributed structure of the Blockchain, the Bitcoin network is highly resistant to cyber attacks and technical failures.

Bitcoin is resistant to government or institutional control, so there is no possibility of a government or leader stopping Bitcoin. Bitcoin has survived many crises, ban attempts and price crashes in the past, and if such a situation occurs again, it will survive again.

So far, Bitcoin is considered sustainable, secure and difficult to destroy, but it is still threatened by risks such as 51% attacks, quantum computers or protocol vulnerabilities. While these have never happened, it is clear that these are potential risks that bitcoin could face and we cannot deny that. So, to be fair, it's still too early to say that bitcoin is immortal.

Also, bitcoin was created after the 2008 financial crisis and so far the only crisis it has experienced is the covid pandemic. It has never experienced and faced devastating crises like world war or the great depression (1929-1933), 2008 like what gold has experienced. So there is not enough data yet to assert that BTC will be immortal if suddenly the world experiences similar things.

"Immortal" in the sense that the source code is widely distributed across cyberspace. Even if the main Bitcoin blockchain is shutdown (which is very unlikely to happen anytime soon), anyone can "relaunch" it by using an improved version of the source code. But you're right that external attacks remain a high-risk target against Bitcoin's network security. Nothing is 100% safe and secure against external threats.

At the pace Bitcoin is progressing, I'm sure developers will come up with a solution against Quantum Computing attacks. The chance of a double-spend attack in the future will be slim as more miners (hashrate) join the network. We can't predict what will happen in the future, so let's hope for the best.

Correct. I think the government tried to stop Bitcoin in the early days. But since it is decentralized and the nodes are running on several computers all over the world, it is not possible for a single country to shut down the Bitcoin network. The number of nodes has increased a lot these days, and I don't think the governments will be able to shut the Bitcoin anymore.

In that sense, Bitcoin is immortal. I can think of a natural disaster or a world war that could destroy the internet system in the world. This could be the only way to stop Bitcoin. I don't see how else Bitcoin will be stopped by someone.

At this stage there are likely to be more and more buyers at previous all time high prices even if the market were to crash significantly. You are right that a market crash won't kill Bitcoin, but it is not entirely true that Bitcoin itself is immortal. 51% attacks are still possible if mining consolidates to a single entity from mining that isn't economically feasible for a long time.


I don't think that Bitcoin is immortal because it can be forked. A new blockchain can be deployed though that would be a new blockchain, not Bitcoin. The technology introduced by Bitcoin is immortal in a way but Bitcoin itself, not entirely, it has some points of failure that could be exploited by very powerful parties, if they choose to take on that very expensive feet.

Good luck creating a EMP tech that's capable of taking down all the power grid in the whole world with just one button, this is straight out of a Sci-fi movie, it's never going to happen, there is nothing I can compare to been impossible than this, still not satisfied?

The sun, can EMP take down the sun too? Now I don't even run a power grid at home anymore, it's been disconnected because I run on solar panels 24/7, all my electricity with water pump are getting power for the sun.

I still manage to run few Bitcoin home miners too, so what are you trying to say? If the world don't have access to their electricity or network remember that the world is getting advanced, there are cities in China that depends heavily on the sun for energy.

Shutting down the whole Internet seems impossible right now. Not even an EMP strike will do the trick. If the Internet survives, so will Bitcoin. To be prepared for the worst, BTC miners and nodes can be launched in space (on the Moon, or Mars, maybe?) to help guarantee the cryptocurrency's longevity.

In a way, Bitcoin is already immortal. Even if QCs and AI manage to successfully crackdown Bitcoin's network security, that alone won't stop the crypto itself from reviving itself in the future. The code is open source, so anyone can improve it and launch it again. If it abides by consensus rules, it won't be considered a fork. I don't envision BTC disappearing anytime soon. It might live well beyond the last BTC mined by 2140. You and I won't be alive by then, but our descendants will. The future is full of surprises, so anything can happen.
