Bitcoin is a platform to innovate and build on. It's similar to an operating system or a programming language, but for money.
For most of history, financial innovation (especially with regards to cryptography) was stifled by the gatekeepers we all know about.
The traditional financial system is the ultimate walled garden. Because of Bitcoin, we don't need their permission to innovate anymore.
We upgraded money to an open source operating system. We're going to see a lot more crazy things that people will build on it in the future.
