Some things can only be done once, and have to be perfect when done. That is the legacy of Satoshi Nakamoto. Others will come, but the magic is exclusive to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is the currency of the Internet: a distributed, worldwide, decentralized digital money. Unlike traditional currencies such as dollars, bitcoins are issued and managed without any central authority whatsoever: there is no government, company, or bank in charge of Bitcoin. As such, it is more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. With Bitcoin, you can be your own bank.
