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.
You are asking of next generations, but what about this present generations. Do you not know that most people do not even know the founder of bitcoin. You being on a forum and the knowledge that you seek make you all know this. Many people even do not know the reason bitcoin is created but they only see its price increasing and they just want to invest. As long as bitcoin remain an asset of increasing value and increasing price, just know that people will continue to invest.
Asides from not even knowing the founda of Bitcoin, most people currently don't even know about Bitcoin and they are in this current generation, some of them are even educated but yet have no information about Bitcoin and they don't even care to know at such.
Next generation won't be anything different from this and we shouldn't be surprised about that, but I am sure that the few of our kids will definitely find Bitcoin interesting and will engage with it and even know about it Creator and supporters.
