Nothing around us will last forever. The computer I'm using now will only last a few years, but I'm confident BTC will last many more decades. Even if the network's going down to 2 computers, BTC can keep on going. The real question is how many people will keep on using it. I hope it will grow, and each time I'm watching the news, I see reasons to be hopeful. I see larger and larger deficits in most countries. I see more and more taxes to try to curb those deficits. I see more and more civil unrest, the yellow vests people in France, the occupy people in the US... Sooner or later, people will realize that BTC is a safe way to keep your savings, and to do business outside of the eyes of the devil, the taxman.
In my opinion, Bitcoin will not remain forever. Why? Because bitcoin cannot maintain the price itself. You will wait to raise the price when the mining season is flactuate.
