Like all digital technology, it is unquestionable that sooner or later bitcoin will have to be replaced by a superior technology, just as in the past we saw many devices become obsolete when at the time seemed insurmountable, such as CDs or PCs.

CDs are a weak analogy.  Code is more flexible in what it can do and how easy it is to change.  As such, Bitcoin is in a much better position to adapt than any sort of physically manufactured product. 


In the end, bitcoin is likely to subsist for many years, but by then it will have evolved in such a way that it will be virtually unrecognizable for today’s standards

How does this make any sense?  It's going to evolve but still be obsolete?  Which is it?
