The title question has run through my mind a million times, in the end, the repeated answer is Yes!

Here are why:~snip

1. As pioneer: Bitcoin is a new innovation than any other, the very first blockchain structure wired to function nicely in payment and finance. Such an authentic innovation doesn't die, but stays forever as long as the world remains.
2. Hacking: Bitcoin cannot be hacked.
3. Fairness: The blockchain mechanism ensures fairness among parties, no discouragement.
4. Decentralization: You can own your Bitcoin and have the true possession.
5. Value: Bitcoin is an asset. It has so much value to the point that you can buy it and forget for years to meet huge success goal. This hedges against inflation and increase financial freedom.
6. Intention: Unlike many projects, the intention of the creator was pure, selfless, neutral and genuine. Such system often attracts adopters naturally and give everyone the freedom they deserve.



Nothing lasts forever.

Imagine if the internet was to become redundant because of some new unknown technological discovery? Or what if money became completely useless in the future due to some reason we cannot even begin to imagine? In such cases, Bitcoin would too, become completely useless. But what is the point in fantasizing instead of living in the current reality? And the current reality says that Bitcoin is the undisputed king of cryptocurrency. No other cryptocurrency has ever come even close to it.

Thinking of what-ifs really does not do anything useful.
