Maybe they can crash the price but not the network though, it's decentralized, as long as there's electricity and internet it will continue to live, now with countries racing to put satellite based internet do you think they can really break bitcoin with its decentralized nature?
It will be like in china where government bans bitcoin with regulation and all but apparently china still has crypto users.

Exactly. If the "Deep State" and Banks crash the market, only prices will drop. But Bitcoin will be alive and running as usual. Assuming the Blockchain remains intact. Most people will quickly panic once market prices go all the way down the drain, so adoption for BTC will decline even with a healthy Blockchain network. I wonder how Bitcoin will survive this way?

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.

No matter how you see it, Bitcoin is "immortal" because anyone with the code can re-launch it if "all hell breaks loose". It's virtually unstoppable. Just like the Internet. The future is full of surprises, so expect the unexpected. At least we know, Bitcoin will be fine during our lifetimes.

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.
