Had a debate with a friend who has the conviction that Bitcoin will just become obsolete or cease to function after some software update or innovation. Compared it to extinct programming languages. I explained the network effect, that anybody could write a node client in any language and it would be compatible if it follows the protocol, and the protocol depends on consensus of the decentralized network. Also how the internet continues to exist and function through innovations and deprecated hardware/software. Not sure how else to get this point across.
