I'm slowly starting to understand that Liberty is a discovery rather than an invention

Like most ideas and inventions right?

But an invention is creating something that didn't previously exist right?

Discovery on the other hand is about something that already exists.

Yeah.

People say that bitcoin was a discovery because all of its parts stay existed, satoshi just put them together.

I go with Knut’s framing here. Bitcoin is an invention that lead to the discovery of absolute scarcity. Absolute scarcity always existed, it’s just that the hash rate was too low to find it.

Yep. Discoveries lead to inventions lead to discoveries lead to inventions and so on.
