There is no pseudo-math for this pseudo-science. This is like asking how many times the discovery of fire, electricity, or the wheel fail at n amount of years.
So you admit the discovery of Bitcoin is as important as fire and electricity. Hahah.
Jk.

No you're right, it's quite the juxtaposition, the discovery of binary code (1s and 0s) seems too simple and insignificant to underpin our entire digital infrastructure. Bitcoin might be as important in the digital world as fire was in the physical world, based on the affordances it will allow for.

Correct.

There's definitely a way to approximate this mathematically.
Let's say in 5 years... what's the % "chance" that Bitcoin is defunctional.
Well it's not 100% chance... but it's also not 0% or... they have the LEAST probabilities.
If we were to simulate 5 years from now 100 times...
How many times is Bitcoin most likely to be defunctional?
