Immortality,
Even in the digital universe, you would need lossless copying. Running your software on upgraded hardware may or may not be continuous.
As a fun side thought, our society could be thought of as one living organism that has lived for thousands of years. In a way, we represent an immortal process. It's just that we have grown so much that we are now indistinguishable from our younger selves.
If we become digital creatures and allow time to change us, even our digital selves may become unrecognizable in a few millennia.
