Maybe! Regardless it doesn’t need Satoshi’s touch. Satoshi contributed a lot with Nakamoto Consensus. Unfortunately his project was hijacked by bad actors and is just a big clown show. The history of computing is littered with people who did incredible initial innovation but failed to create the product people actually ended up using.

I would have preferred for this not to be the case. I wanted to be a Bitcoiner. But Bitcoin has for the past decade ignored the real world uses of blockchains to focus resources nearly exclusively on the clusterfuck that is Lightning and becoming extremely late to the party on NFTs and EVM contracts. They ignored concerns about fungibility and counterparty censorship. There is better money out there now.
