The internet didn't magically appear one day in its current form. It is a pile of good-enough solutions, layered on-top of one another as they became needed. The same could be said for many of the other systems that humans have developed.

Correct. Considering we've never seen a decentralized store of value requiring no trusted intermediaries on its way to becoming a reserve asset before, I'd say bitcoin is doing pretty good at a nearly $700 billion market cap.

It is a pile of good-enough solutions...

The real problem is that the foundation of Bitcoin is not good enough to ever function as a practical, real world currency.

And over a decade of development and use has produced little evidence to the contrary. Bitcoin's main function remains speculation.
