Nothing will reproduce the almost miraculous circumstances of its growth & bootstrapping from obscurity. No? How about Ethereum? It started as a Bitcoin clone with added features and is now on track to surpass it. There are thousands of similar Bitcoin clones out there. And more are undoubtedly on the way. The most miraculous thing is the number of celebrities, politicians and corporations who have thus far resisted the urge to create and promote their own.

  That's not cloning bitcoin. It's the network & blockchain that's important & that's physically impossible to clone at this point without a time machine.

    The only thing that hasn't been cloned is the trademark name "Bitcoin".
