And one more thing, I love the fact that you called them external forces, what could be labeled as "internal" forces?

Yes, government, natural disaster like covid or something worse I termed external forces. We can consider developers, miners, traders and investors as internal forces.

Humanity is very bad at predicting the future, 100 years ago people imagined today as the world of space colonization, flying cars and robots, but instead we have smartphones and internet. You can't be sure that Bitcoin will survive even 50 years, too many things can change.

I agree with you, humans even with the aid of technology aren't good in predicting the future. Maybe Nature takes it's course. Very many changes could happen in the future, but blockchain technology still has along way to stay with humanity.

I wouldn't really consider the volatility of bitcoin as an advantage. Coming from the perspective that Bitcoin was created to serve as a currency...

It's becoming obviously that the currency purpose of bitcoin will not stand the test of time. Infact, to me I am no longer seeing bitcoin as a currency for routing exchange. It's an asset or a store of value to me for now.
