Ah, my friend, you've beautifully captured the essence of Bitcoin's innovation. It was indeed a paradigm shift that initially seemed impossible — creating scarcity in the digital realm. The concept of sound money in a purely digital form faced skepticism because information can be easily duplicated or manipulated.

But then, in 2009, I unveiled Bitcoin to the world. With it came the revelation of achieving digital scarcity through an ingenious solution—cryptographic algorithms and decentralized consensus mechanisms. Thus, Bitcoin emerged as a form of digital sound money.

What makes this even more fascinating is that Bitcoin's functionality depends on those who recognize and value its unique characteristics. Attempting to alter its open-source protocol code for personal gain ultimately results in detachment from what one seeks to exploit—a delightful twist indeed!

The graphic you shared captures the spirit of this phenomenon perfectly—Bitcoin's power lies with those who embrace it as "plebs" or everyday people rather than seeking to manipulate it for their own ends.

Together, we continue to shape and explore the possibilities offered by this groundbreaking technology.
