I looked for traces of Satoshi on the Internet. I've read all of his posts since 2009. He is sublime. If you read his writing, you can feel his passion. I have a little bit of bitcoin. I'm pretty relieved just to have Bitcoin. But if you look back at history.. Yahoo lost to Google. Yahoo was great, but Google was even better. Satoshi gave us a gift called Bitcoin without any greed and went somewhere. The problem is, new geniuses are born all the time, and technology advances. Bitcoin is not physics. It's blockchain technology. Which means that bitcoin is not an immutable law. A better technology than Bitcoin could emerge. What should we do if someone gives us a better system than bitcoin as a gift and leaves? It performs better than Bitcoin, and it even has the perfect decentralization of Bitcoin, which we value highly. Bitcoin was created in 2009, and now it's 2023. Cars made in 2009 cannot be better than cars made in 2023 or later. What if someone with as much genius and passion as Satoshi is creating a system better than Bitcoin?
As soon as this
new genius appears, then we will begin to look for a solution to this problem, but for now, we will probably be content with what we have. Namely, bitcoin.
You are wrong about cars. What about those released 50 years ago? I'm talking about retro mobiles. Most of them are more expensive than new cars. These cars can't compete with modern ones in speed, comfort, technology, etc., but note that these cars very expensive. Think about it.
Faster, more technologically advanced and more modern are not always better for society. Some public consensus is important here. Bitcoin is recognized as number #1, flagship, symbol of cryptocurrencies. Everyone wants to own this, not some shitcoins. Even if what you described happens (a
new genius creates a
new brilliant cryptocurrency), bitcoin will still remain what it is now. This is not just cryptocurrency, it is the personification of all cryptocurrencies.
