I agree that 95% - 99% of the market is as you describe BUT even Bitcoin has forked over time and even now is undergoing the Core vs Knots heresy! I understand the religious nature of the argument, belonging to "The One True Coin!" is very attractive but real sovereignty means having a choice between competing options. Bitcoin is the current market leader (by a long way!) but that doesn't mean that better options won't appear in the market over time - Even Satoshi would agree with that as he moved on to other projects...

I have to push back. Bitcoin isn’t just another belief or story. Unlike fiat or ideologies, it’s enforced by math, cryptography, proof-of-work, and auditable code that has run trustlessly for 17 years. Satoshi left in 2011 to eliminate founder risk. A visible creator is a single point of failure: legal pressure, coercion, personality cult. His exit was deliberate design to make Bitcoin antifragile. The wheel can only be invented once. Bitcoin solved permissionless digital scarcity without intermediaries. Copies and “improvements” usually sacrifice decentralization or security. Narratives and psychology exist around it, sure. But strip them away and the protocol still works exactly as coded. That’s what sets it apart from pure belief systems.
