they operate slow and methodical over generations,not decades.

I like this logic. If nothing they move slow and methodically. The goal is always to move your position forward, even if it takes great time.

Most of the math for bitcoin and even some basic ideas of this concept have been floating around for 20 years.

Someone or a group figured out that with "proof of work" systems one could provide a vehicle for "transfer of value" far cheaper then Visa can, and all transparent (public ledger) at the same time.

I'd like to think that, "Someone or a group," are an unwashed citizen soldier(s) looking out for our (the masses) best interest. The stories we know now about our good friend Satoshi fallow this theme.

but, deep down I still wonder...
