A shame Nash and his wife are gone. How many know who John Nash is, or what his contributions were? Do we need to know who Lenoir and Otto were to make use of a car? The fact remains that the system is in operation and almost nobody will consider the creators while doing so. I agree that it will have negligible effect at best.

I've wondered whether Bitcoin is the the Biblical beast from the sea, having obscured origins and a wound. The beast from the land may be the scaling solution of an altcoin, created in plain view and founded upon Bitcoin's reserve platform to which its value defers. Some aspects are difficult to rectify and the descriptions depicted in the Bible do not directly equate to physical representations but metaphysical/spiritual ones.
