As long as it has utility - utility that is better than any other competitor, then Bitcoin will continue to keep on keeping on.

For now as it stands yes, It's sort of immortal since IIRC it has died 90 times already and yet here we are, using it day to day however it would need constant improvement by developers to ensure it will last forever and we shouldn't take things for granted just for how they are at the moment as nothing would last forever but some last longer than others.

eMule is immortal (after implemented KAD network).
Bittorent is immortal (after implemented DHT network).
Bitcoin is immortal ... when miner (automated, like 100% every 10s for 1s) is implented on CORE software.

It is certainly not "inmmortal" in the sense of being always on top. As other have said, there are cryptos that offer more features than Bitcoin (faster tranfers, interest, more anonimity etc.) and one of those could reach to be the number one.

But I think that Bitcoin is always likely to survive.

Only further active development can make bitcon immortal. If it is not developed further, it will be replaced by other coins such as Ethereum.

Bitcoin is proving to be extremely strong, practically "immune to death". If you look at Bitcoin Obituaries, people among the most influential and powerful in the world (let JPMorgan CEO be one example) have been unsuccessfully trying to bring it down. Even Hearn tried to destroy it and, despite all the incredibly negative promotion worldwide, Bitcoin's price went down a little only to (slowly) get back. If not even one of its creators was able to kill it, who will?

Another altcoin might slow it down but not actually kill it. Someday one of the altcoins will emerge as a better payment option and take away the throne from bitcoin as the top crypto out there.

i see no reason for that to happen, as long as they do not offer anything worth it, and no right now there is not a single altcoin that offer something that bitcoin lack or that bitcoin can not have in the future

I agree here, ATM no other alt coin has the infrastructure that Bitcoin has nor the merchants, hashing power, people, development, or funding...
 
I did NOT invest in ETH but see them as the only ones who eventualy might be able to compete with Bitcoin ONE day. Although they have a long way to go.

It already exist as far as I know. Monero has it all, it just don't get to attract more users and isn't used by a lot of us.

Yup, BTC is immortal but will not be the King crypto forever.
