Bitcoin is the capstone on 4 *decades* of innovation and experimentation .. and it is the foundation for decades more that we’re already seeing start to emerge:
- Liquid
- Lightning
- eCash
- Nostr
Ignorance of the history leads also to the fallacy of “version 2 will be better” which the altcoin promoters feed on
Fundamentally, and i speak as someone coming from a technical background, the most important aspect to learn is that Bitcoin’s innovation is economic (verifiable absolute digital scarcity), not technical.
Then technical innovation is impressive but only in so far as it enables the actual economic innovation
