I have read some more. Your general premise is that "something better than bitcoin" will show up sooner or later. This reminds me of the sensibility that inspired the first altcoins. You ignore the one thing about bitcoin that can't be replicated or improved upon- For lack of a better term its immaculate conception. It was first, it was decentralized, and it grew without an organization or company. You can say it was an accident of history. All this supposed improved function, enhanced privacy ( your monero obsession again), fear of quantum computing, etc are meaningless. They all can be solved. You can't recreate bitcoin's creation.

Again. I enjoyed the article and I will reread it. This is what I have so far.
