What if Bitcoin was reimagined today, under modern cryptographic assumptions, using a principled minimalist architecture designed for long-term auditability and zero-trust adversarial environments?
Please! we can't be left with philosophical doubts about what would happen if... unless we're in the experimental phase, hence Bitcoin isn't; it's a fact that's being implemented right now. So, assuming what would happen if this or that were done only leads to falling into the dilemma: "what would it have been like if I had met you before," as a popular song goes.
