Started with the realization of the need for a global decentralized currency anyone could use to send anywhere and convert to their own currencies. Remittances, or just memorizing words and walking over a border with your imaginary money that exists on a blockhain somewhere.

Then came the reality of the enforcement of digital scarcity by anyone willing to verify the rules.

Proof of work and an incentives based distribution of miners verifying the consensus rules and expending both capital and energy to enforce those rules.

How the difficulty adjustment ensures an average of a ten minute block time no matter how many miners come or go.

How it could utilize renewable energy that would be wasted, and then how it could impact the current energy grid by using up the wasted energy when there is no strain and shutting down when there is a need. Burning flare gas from fossil fuels, using wasted potential.

To be honest it just keeps going. A fair system anyone willing can build on and contribute ideas to.

Let alone the whole ridiculous story of Satoshi. It's too crazy to be true but it still works. Tick tock another block.

Full disclosure I shitcoined for a while but I'm done. Only Bitcoin seems to actually impact the real world outside of trying to promise yield and memes. And we've got memes.
