Or would you rather save in a currency who's terminal supply is programmatically fixed?
The interesting thing about this statement and ideology is that it's not even the main thing that brings value to Bitcoin (just icing on the cake). If the block reward of Bitcoin was still 50 BTC we'd still be doing just fine.
The real value of Bitcoin is that it is a technology that upgrades itself for free. It would be like buying a computer in the 80's and never having to buy a new one. The Bitcoin network of 2030 will look completely different than today, just like the Bitcoin network of 2010 looks nothing like 2020.
This is why Bitcoin is much more than just Gold 2.0.
Gold will always just be gold, whereas Bitcoin will not always be Bitcoin (if that makes sense).
Bitcoin is Gold 2.0 and Gold 3.0 and Gold 4.0. It just needs time to develop.
Yes and no. How many actual upgrades have there been to the source code since bitcoin launched? The technology may change but it's incredibly difficult to make changes to the core code.
The code is only a small subset of the network.
In fact the code's resistance to change is a feature of the network itself.
One that provides a foundation of stability, security, and trust.
These are all pieces of the network.
While the code may look the same in 10 years the network/applications certainly won't.
