Bitcoin did not appear out of nowhere.
For decades prior to Satoshi Nakamoto’s invention, a diverse group of computer scientists, privacy activists, and heterodox economists tried to create a digital form of money that could operate independently of government control.
The Genesis Book tells the story of the people and projects that inspired the invention of the world’s first successful peer-to-peer electronic cash system

I agree to respond to the current system, but we must make sure we are not dependant on goodwill of fincen
Bitcoin blows minds for many reasons.
Computer scientists say Satoshi solving the Byzantine Generals problem blew their minds.
Economists might be mystified by an asset that goes up in price without producers increasing production to increase supply.
Oil drillers say finding an alternative to flaring excess gas that's cleaner and more profitable was mind blowing.
Human rights advocates say being able to own an asset which cannot be confiscated in a corrupt country, allowing people to grow wealth and escape tyranny was mind blowing.
Power plant operators will say the load balancing capability of mining is mind blowing.
Merchants or users of remittance services will say the fact that BTC lowers friction and fees is mind blowing.
Some might say Bitcoin encouraging saving and long term thinking is mind blowing.
If Bitcoin hasn't blown your mind, you just haven't viewed it through the right lens yet.
