No, sorry, you are deluded. Compared to the ones from Shannon, Knuth, Ritchie, John McArthy... BTC barely maked a dent.
It literally creates trilion dollar "industry", calling it barely a dent is weirsld as hell And no, I dont own btc

Something doesn't feel quite right to me seeing the PageRank paper in a short list alongside Turing and Shannon's foundational work on computability and information theory. “On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem” is almost 90 years old at this point and just as true and relevant now as it was then. Is PageRank even as relevant today as it was in 1998, let alone another 50 years from n…
We can’t estimate what will be relevant 50 years from now. If quantum or biological computing find some success, none of these are going to be relevant. That said, pagerank is important to understand the modern tech world. Search is something we take for granted, and it’s great there’s a deeply mathematical (and somewhat counterintuitive) theory behind it.
Nice work! I was actually doing something similar on my own, so I might recommend some papers - RSA: A Method for Obtaining Digital Signatures and Public-Key Cryptosystems (1978) - PageRank: The PageRank Citation Ranking: Bringing Order to the Web (1999) - MapReduce: MapReduce: simplified data processing on large clusters (2008) - Bitcoin: Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System (2008) - BackProp: Learning rep…
