 FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS BTC ISN’T AN ANOMALY IN HUMAN “EVOLUTION” ; give me one example of a human being anonymously creating something so incredibly beneficial/valuable to the species that just disappeared without any acknowledgment. 

I’ll wait. 
 You really set that one up 
 🤔🧐😉 
 Whoever handled fire the first time or created the wheel. 
 Nah. The “caveman” argument doesn’t hold water. 
A. They weren’t real 
B. A rock is round. And rolls naturally.  Fire comes from lightning hitting a tree. Natural. 
 Didn't need to be a caveman. Someone had to be the first to figure out how to control fire and using round rocks as wheels. We have no idea who they were. 
 Whover built that stick and hoop game. 
 Down the hall, take a left. Then go down 2 stairs and turn right. That’s the door out. Take it. 
 Well I'm takin' my fuckin' hoop and stick with me then! 
 Leave that. 
 That's a violation of playground rules.  Dude with the ball (or stick and hoop in this instance) gets to be a sniveling prick. 
 Take it then. And the juice box that hits you in the back of the head as you walk away is warranted. 
 It is written. 
 Open source projects are abandoned all the time. It's actually a huge pain.

I think it's the most normal route for human innovation, because inventors always die. And the fruits of their genius are always carried on by others. 
 Devs that create something love to take credit. OpenSource almost always ties back to a source.  
Nah. Not it.
