at least one hard-fork is planned for the future because we all know it's necessary.
I guess I'm outside the subset of "we all".. so please enlighten me: what hard-fork is necessary? All I can think of is either a) changing the core crypto to be quantum resistant or b) something to do with the 2038 problem
That's the one - 2038 which we're fine until (I believe) year 2106. If there will be a hardfork to fix that, we might bundle more things into it. Cutting satoshi into another 100 million bits could be another one. That would also make new halvings possible - half sat per block, followed by a quarter of sat for years later and so on (21 million would still be intact in this case). Quantum resistance, larger block space and whatever necessary might find its way into that single hardfork too.
I don't pretend to see the future, just thinking of the possibilities. Some shitcoiners don't realise that never is a really long period of time.

If it takes 16 years for bitcoin to be upgraded, then it is futile. I suspect most interest in bitcoin will have largely vanished by then. Bitcoin is only like 13 years old so far.

Bitcoin was upgraded a few months ago - in April 2022. The previous upgrade was in September 2021.
Where exactly have you pulled the 16 years from?? Is it the same place the rest of your predictions are coming from?
Stop trolling and get learn the facts, please.

"Network Upgrade" is synonymous with "Hard Fork"
