It seems like a state change when the question of "why" is introduced into a particular system.

For almost the entire lifespan of our universe, the only question asked was "how" do we find the next block? And as far as we know, we are the first to ask "why" do we find the next block?

The faith required to face this question and answer "Yes" while knowing that we have no direct evidence of a stated objective by the Creator of the system and never will, is, in my opinion, what leads to all of the qualities that are unique to those who ask "why". Namely creativity in all it's forms: art, entrepreneurship, etc.

With bitcoin, we can now observe the value that is achieved when a utxo enters a new state of being, but the utxo will never have access to this understanding, just as we will never know the value of our choice to act within the confines of our own universe.

However, the value that we can now observe, that is created by the discovery of a new bitcoin block, is only valuable is we continue to have faith in the value of our own actions.

This is the eternal source of inspiration that connects and propels the spiral forward: faith.
