The following is personal opinion and backed by nothing but my personal experience.
With respect to modern age/recent tech, the fed does NOT innovate, but the fed often funds those that do innovate.
Did Satoshi have a day, paid job and bitcoin was his side project?!
Or was bitcoin his day job and funded by "another", be it directly or indirectly.
With that said, I don't think it matters bc we can't unlearn what we have all learned bc of bitcoin.
