"This space" didn't exist 20 years ago.


Yes it did. It has been going on for ~50 years, and bitcoin is the culmination of work spanning that period.

Bitcoin was not the first cryptocurrency. It was the first good one, though.


Why would it be the last is the question? Clearly something better has to come or already came. After a large step forward there is usually a tremendous amount of innovation coming. Why would you assume 10 years passed and bitcoin is still the first AND the only good one.
