Dad: Son, so, Bitcoin is open-source? What does this mean exactly?

Son: Hi Dad,

The term open source refers to something anyone can independently review, modify and share because its design is publicly accessible.

Dad: So, everything is public and there are no secrets, except your own?

Son: Your private keys are private, of course.

Everything else is public and auditable. In this beautiful asymmetry lies the true power of Bitcoin.
