Cryptography isn't Bitcoin's primary driver; it's proof of work. The cryptography and data structures used are fully arbitrary and could have looked completely different. But the use of physical energy to power global consensus on the state of Bitcoin ownership could not have been any different.

So really "cryptocurrencies" should have been called energy currencies. And proof of stake/fiat 2.0 would never have affinity scammed Bitcoin.
