"One day, Bitcoin will be replaced by a faster, more modern version 2.0." This is a widespread idea, and it seems logical if we apply the usual patterns of technological innovation. But it overlooks the very nature of Bitcoin and the radically different vision it embodies. Explanations: The majority of people who, like me, have been interested in it for a long time and invest a part of their wealth in it are not looking for a "better" Bitcoin. We do not want a faster Bitcoin. Nor a Bitcoin capable of processing more transactions per second. Nor a Bitcoin with additional features like smart contracts. What we value is precisely its immobility. And this "we" refers to all those who are truly invested in Bitcoin, both financially and philosophically. Some dream, for example, of a faster network suited for daily payments, but they hold only a marginal share, rendering their opinion inaudible. Bitcoin is what we want it to be. And it is above all a resilient network, whose stability and resistance to change give it all its value. It is often said that there is no "second best" Bitcoin. And that is true. Bitcoin meets a unique need: 👉 a censorship-resistant digital asset, 👉 a limited and predictable monetary issuance, 👉 that no one can stop by pressing a button. Bitcoin is the freedom to own. And to preserve this freedom, Bitcoin must remain what it is: a decentralized, immutable, and extremely resilient system. This does not mean it will never evolve. In the case of an existential threat — like quantum, for example — there could be adjustments. Bitcoin is not entirely static in reality. But it evolves very slowly, by consensus, and only on topics compatible with its core values. As long as this cultural stability prevails, Bitcoin will not change. And that is what makes it a centuries-old project, still relevant in 100 years. In contrast, other cryptos — Ethereum, Solana, Cardano… — are engaged whether they want to or not in a race for innovation, performance, and use cases. They are fighting to become the foundations of the digital infrastructure of the future. It’s an exciting technological game, but it’s also a game of elimination: in 10 years, natural selection will have done its job. We can talk about Ethereum 3.0. But imagining a Bitcoin 2.0 simply makes no sense. Bitcoin was born in a unique context of widespread indifference and decentralized growth. This alignment can never be reproduced. And that is what makes Bitcoin a truly irreplaceable asset. So if you are waiting for the new Bitcoin to finally take it seriously, wait no more because it has already arrived!
