Bitcoin is second most important after cold fusion. Ok, I can hear the laughing. 

MIT is running a cold fusion lecture for second year running.  National Instruments also have an annual conference on cold fusion. And ELFORSK, the Swedish energy peak research body have issued a statement that they have discovered unexplained large power outputs from ECats.

Cheap, clean energy is the most important technological breakthrough.

While this would be an EPIC innovation as well, if the majority of the human population cannot afford and/or enjoy it because of financial oppression, then it would be secondary. However, I am not certain if we're seeing THAT level of financial oppression or not. Come to think of it, the concept of open source may proove to be important as well. Inventions may be supressed, but its hard to supress a viral open source technology of an idea that is suddenly released and then becomes demanded by the people.... If I ever stubled upon a clean energy tech, I'd be tempted to release it in this manner so I wouldn't find myself bought off or killed to prevent it from reaching market.

But I digress, I admit have a bit of a tin foil hat, but I don't know just how deep the rabbit hole goes. LOL  Grin
