"Bitcoin, just like real estate and gold can't be replicated"

Well thats true to a degree, but unlike land and gold, Bitcoin CAN be superceded. It can also be disabled. Ownership of land and gold can also be disabled by governments to a degree, through permitting and regulation, and governments absolutely can disable the utility of Bitcoin. They are already starting by requiring OFAC approved nodes. They can detect Bitcoin packets as they traverse major nodes on the internet and stop them. When they have a quantum computer they don't have to screw the consensus mechanism, they just have to destroy faith in the system by ransacking Satoshi's known addresses.

The reason they can do this is because most people will comply in order to keep Bitcoin and other cryptos alive. Most of the technical work towards dealing with crypto are under wraps.

The idea that BTC is impervious to an evil future is, frankly an insane position, and having value in other cryptos that are approaching progress differently is critical top keeping a second global economic in play.
