Nothing's ever certain in the future. But at least for the last 10 years, it has worked. And I think it will continue to work. I think the main problem with Bitcoin is the people using it are so locked into "oh this is the best and there's nothing better" that they can't see the problems. If something came along that made Monero look like a child's toy, and it was that much better, I would switch, not die on that hill.
