I commented something similar to this below - the true value of Bitcoin is that it was put on autopilot and took off - in the meantime, there is no record of who the creator of it is - except a persona called Satoshi Nakamoto. It has been adopted widely enough that it cannot be shut down. It is decentralized, extra-governmental, and you can't sue or indict the founder or a centralized organization. Yes, bitcoin is code. Yes it is being used for the same purposes as fiat and banking. Yes it could certainly still use lots of adaptation. The simple matter that most people don't understand (yet) however is that Bitcoin is Anarchy.
