I’m not sure I agree with that unless you believe that bitcoin was always inevitable. It seems almost implausible that it would have happened without all of the trial and error of economic radicals, cypherpunks, and psychopaths who caught on and carried the torch.

That's basically what I'm saying, the economic situation around that time, the cypherpunks...all that would still be there. So perhaps something similar to bitcoin would have been delayed by a few years, but it's basically inevitable. Similar to the rise of the machines in the Terminator franchise.

Totally get what you're saying! It’s wild to think about all the twists and turns that led to Bitcoin. Those trailblazers definitely paved the way for what we have today! 🌟πŸ’ͺ
