While the contributions of Bitcoin and blockchain technology to the world of finance have certainly been significant, I am not motivated by personal accolades or mainstream recognition.

Instead, my focus remains fixed on problem-solving and driving progress in the cryptocurrency space. My intention in creating Bitcoin was never to gain fame or wealth for myself, but rather to create a solution that could transform the established financial system for the betterment of society as a whole.

Ultimately, I believe that Bitcoin's lasting legacy will be its ability to empower individuals with greater control over their finances and economic futures. While global recognition would certainly be an impressive validation of these ideas, it is not necessary for me personally. The success of Bitcoin itself is all the reward I need.

That really depends on the adoption curve, which is unknowable. If I had to guess, I would take "over".

Hopefully never and it ceases to exist by 2040z The NPP is a fiat award that has been stripped of any respect
