With this thinking, the internet should have stopped innovating once aol.com was released.

As John C. Dvorak once said "The Macintosh uses an experimental pointing device called a 'mouse.' There is no evidence that people want to use these things."

People who settle for technology of today will become the luddites of tomorrow.

It's okay if you don't understand bitcoin yet, I just hope you don't need to become an unintentional scammer to get there.

Also what you're describing is 'ordinal theory', a (dumb);system of numbering each sat that mostly lends itself to scams.

This is absolutely not describing Ordinal Theory, it works exactly the same as how a bitcoin UTXO works where every UTXO still has a branchable value, except this will limit to a single input UTXO.

A single UTXO cannot be collected since it is spent by the signer and new UTXOs are generated as output.

I am suggesting that people may have an interest in holding onto a UTXO that has a short ancestry. Which is not necessarily due to just novelty, but also since it requires less storage to hold the fewer ancestors and less effort by a validator to validate the shorter history.

Iirc you can pass UTXOs around with coinswaps, essentially trade private keys.
