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?
With the existing system and Bitcoin being able to continue to survive amid the many adoptions made, it shows that the Bitcoin system as a strong currency in privacy has received recognition from the world. Because it is open source, then please as long as it does not turn into a system like a centralized currency that can be controlled by the authority both distribution and value.
If that happens, then it is no longer Bitcoin created by Satoshi Nakamoto.
