Yeah tech is shrinking what would take centuries into decades. It’s pretty incredible. But complacency is the enemy of progress. Still a long way to go.

Thought experiment: Imagine a world where Ethereum was created as it is now in 2009 and bitcoin was created today

I’ve posed a similar experiment: imagine no BTC, how would we view ETH? BTC gained a lot from being the genesis crypto, its founder myth, durability + immutability of MP over time etc. Would likely be seen as some scam fork in today’s ICO world (depending how it launched).

"if Bitcoin didn’t have a fixed money supply, it would be replaced by something which did. money exists to be saved, the savers are better off on the fork which most encourages saving."

That doesn’t mean the community would legitimize it. You can launch a 1000 fixed supply cryptos today w/ 10m supply but they’d go nowhere. Trying to replicate BTC’s success is almost impossible in today’s world wouldn’t you agree? As I said, it would depend on how it launched.

Agreed. Being first mover + immaculate conception + anonymous founder + most decentralized + longest lasting lindy effect + network effects help a lot.

Yah agreed! Genesis is a special and tricky thing to replicate and depends on the environment at the time. Launching today pretty much means it’s institutionally owned. And the rest (decentralization, censorship-resistance, security, etc.) must be earned over time.

Yah exactly. It’s almost impossible to not institutionalize. Everyone knows about it now.
