Bitcoin’s origin feels almost mythical:
– A mysterious, pseudonymous creator
– Satoshi never touches his coins
– Disappears at the perfect moment
– Launches right after the 2008 financial crash
– Embeds “Chancellor on brink of bailout” in the first block
– Impeccable monetary policy: 21M cap, 4-year halvings
– Nearly flawless technology from day one
And throw in that the Computer Science aspect of proof of work, Byzantine Generals Problem etc was amazing enough,
but the cultural significance seeping across the globe silently accessing the psyche of the human race is so unbelievably understated
Bitcoin has the potential to be as regarded akin to the pillars of our very being, like religion, money and co-operation

AND satoshi managed to stay anonymous after all these years. Mystical is the correct word.
