My point was to address your argument that BTC gets upgraded and built upon. That is not a safeguard against being surpassed by newer technologies. That is the very nature of technological advancement. It's like saying iPhone is a store of value because it has network effect, and is being upgraded and built upon via the iPhone 17, then the iPhone 18, etc. Both iPhone and Bitcoin could go the way of Nokia dumbphones.

Another analogy that tries to lump Bitcoin with technologies instead of a protocol. Base 10 math is a protocol, all the theorems and formulas emerge from that. Base 10 math does not get replaced. The internet is a protocol. Websites and apps emerge from that. The internet does not get replaced It is easy to confuse bitcoin as a technology to be replaced rather than a protocol to have other things built upon.
