#Bitcoin a truly monumental feat of computer science, game theory, economics, and the ethical consideration Satoshi made of walking away and sacrificing control of his coins and of the project. It culminated in a global system of rules without rulers, and it continues to grow, will grow, forever. It will persist because anarchy is the only form of governance that is truly sustainable and truly strong. It is antifragile. It adapts to every challenge, a complex adaptive system of immense value to mankind, on the individual level. That is in short why it will stay with humanity, and perhaps with human-made androids a la NieR Automata, for many millennia. Side note, kudos to that game for incorporating mechanics where the player has to economize computational resources as well as money within a market for chips, legit the best upgrade mechanic of any game.
