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?
Bitcoin is not like other innovations, it's type has not been built ever since it was created because as you said, Satoshi built it with passion without aim of profiting from it but today, look at the market, all the coins and tokens that are been listed are profit oriented, the teams behind it has tokens set for themselves, did pre-sale, public sale and all sort of public funding to raise money just to finance them but bitcoin is difference, no greed people around even the 1M bitcoin Satoshi left to himself is yet to be move or touch a single penny from it.
I'm not underestimating how innovations changes with time but I'm just saying, if there is going to be another coin like bitcoin, the founders and developers has to do something extraordinary and encouraging the people but I don't think it might be fruitful to outshine bitcoin. Even bitcoin is not relaxing, the developers behind it are also working everyday to improve and scale it in other to boost, security and decentralization, other coins lack this 3 aspects altogether.
