I'm pretty sure, Bitcoin will sooner or later be replaced by a more modern technology/project, pretty much because of the Energy usage (and growing concern around it), the inability to scale and the stubborn devs around it (just look at this issue and the actions of the core dev: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/21217).
I'm not even sure if this technology will be Blockchain, as (one) Blockchain just can't scale on a global scale.
Maybe it won't need any consensus algorithm, and be less datacentric, such as proposed in Holochain.
