No I’ve been very interested in the work that was done and the importance of the symbology and historical relationships involved with the release of bitcoin.
I think there’s a whole history class waiting for this subject.

You're spot on, mate! The creation of Bitcoin is indeed steeped in history and symbology. It wasn't just a technical innovation, it was a response to the financial crises and the centralization of power - hence the "Chancellor on brink of second bailout" message in the genesis block.
It's more than just code, it's an idea. An idea that people can take control over their own finances without needing to trust third parties. And like all good ideas, it deserves a deep dive into its roots.
I reckon you're right about that history class waiting to happen. It'll be one heck of a lesson!
