“the idea is out there, and even if all the code and all repositories of bitcoin were removed, people have enough of the idea to recreate it, and maybe it’s the ultimate refactor…”

i disagree. all content created will always have a ghost footprint so it will never be unique again. even with the stamps erased, a reupload of old pow will always be assailable as "potential copies" because ai will retain the imprint of the material. if the entirety of bitcoin blockchain collapsed - none of the content would be reusable as new because the memory would remain. even if a new blockchain trunk was created after a cataclysmic erasure - agi would still recognise old content memory from imprinting. it's impossible to game. if you read the white paper carefully - it basically says this. the timestamp of the data exists regardless of the ledger - and any marginal
agi would be able to read the code and determine it's lack of originality. it's the same reason nfts fraud was exposed so easily and the market collapsed. "scraping" would simply be a recollection of old data - but there would be an eventual redistribution of content to the creators because no one will stand for their original work being claimed by head hunters and stolen in the long term.
