Let's say (hypothetically) governments find a way to shut down Bitcoin or centralize the whole thing. Even if they succeed, Bitcoin will survive because of its open source nature. Meaning, anyone with the code can just re-launch BTC and restore its decentralized capabilities. Not even purging or banning GitHub (or similar) repositories will be able to destroy Bitcoin. And don't get me started on Quantum computing.
At this point, I'd say Bitcoin is immortal. Wouldn't you agree? If not, may I ask why?
Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Bitcoin’s resilience is undeniable, but calling it "immortal" assumes no existential threats. Its open-source nature ensures it can be replicated, but true survival depends on network security, adoption, and economic incentives. At this point, I'd say Bitcoin is immortal. Wouldn't you agree?

Governments can’t shut it down, but they can regulate on/off ramps, restrict mining, or push CBDCs as an alternative, affecting liquidity and adoption. Quantum computing is a future challenge, though BTC can adapt with post-quantum cryptography.
Bitcoin is incredibly robust, but survival isn’t just about code—it’s about maintaining decentralization, economic relevance, and user trust. Immortal? Maybe not. Unstoppable? Most likely.
