For most of us, the mystery of Satoshi Nakamoto and the cypherpunk roots of Bitcoin are deeply fascinating. But I wonder—will the next generation even care about these stories?
Imagine someone born in 2030. For them, Bitcoin might just be another “internet money,” without any myth or romance attached to it.
👉 Does losing the origin story weaken Bitcoin’s cultural value, or does it not matter as long as the protocol works?
I think part of Bitcoin’s magic is its mysterious birth, but over time, maybe the narrative will shift toward practicality only. Curious what others here think.
A very interesting statement, how will future generations view Bitcoin's history? Over time, the layers of myth/history may fade somewhat, but the traces of its origins will continue to serve as a "cultural DNA" that will distinguish Bitcoin from just another financial instrument. Future generations may not be fixated on the person or story of its origins, but the legitimacy, decentralization ethos, and trust that emerged from its birth will continue to be the foundation that maintains Bitcoin's relevance in the future. I actually think so, but it could be different, just my prediction.
