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.

Never too late to start talking about energy currency.
PoW don’t matter without difficulty adjustment, which doesn’t matter if not limiting issuance to 21m, which doesn’t matter if bitcoin isn’t money.
Bitcoin is bitcoin’s primary driver😵💫
I would say even the design of the difficulty adjustment period, issuance schedule, and the exact number of units are arbitrary, so long as a finite state space emerges.
You can change the adjustment period and the hashing algorithm and the difficulty scheme and the issuance schedule and the number of units. You can even change what you call the whole system and the stories you weave it into, including economics. But you can never get away from generating watts to power it.
Proof of energy. Very good!

Earlier this year, I fell victim to a devastating cryptocurrency scam that cost me $79,000 worth of Dogecoin (DOGE). I met a scammer through a Telegram investment group—a woman named “Clara” who posed as an experienced crypto broker. She shared impressive-looking client testimonials and promised a 35% return in just seven days. Her website looked professional, and despite my initial doubts, I eventually transferred 500,000 DOGE, worth about $79,000 at the time.
For the first week, everything looked fine—the trading platform showed my balance growing steadily. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, I was told I needed to pay a $12,000 “withdrawal fee.” Clara reassured me this was standard and fully refundable, so I paid it. Unfortunately, that was just the beginning. More unexpected charges followed: a tax clearance fee, a network fee, a security deposit. Before I knew it, I had lost an additional $8,000.
I was crushed—emotionally and financially. My savings were gone, and I blamed myself for ignoring the red flags. A friend eventually suggested I reach out to JBEE SPY TEAM RECOVERY, a company known for helping scam victims recover stolen cryptocurrency.
Although I was skeptical, I was also desperate. I contacted them and provided every detail I could: wallet addresses, transaction history, chat logs—everything. Their team got to work right away. Using advanced blockchain tracking techniques, they traced the stolen DOGE, identified the scammer’s wallet, and worked with relevant authorities to freeze the funds before they were moved any further.
Throughout the process, they kept me informed and reassured. After days of relentles
s effort, JBEE SYP TEAM RECOVERY successfully recovered the majority of my stolen Dogecoin. Their professionalism, expertise, and transparency turned what felt like a hopeless situation into a story of redemption.
