You claimed that if another block chain/crypto currency rose to prominence, Bitcoin would still have value because older technologies like C and http still have value, implying that all old technologies still have value.
I'm just pointing out that there are boatloads of old technologies which don't still have value, like APL, ALGOL and gopher.
Oh man, remember HyperCard?

I said that there are some old data formats and old protocols still have value and if you read think about it, some have also evolved over time. You gave examples of technologies that weren't first movers and never dominated the network effect of their niche no longer being used. Technology going obsolete is the norm and what the original poster assumed. I was giving examples of why that isn't a certainty in this case.
