Some say, others understand.
Common law on the other hand uses handed down layer upon layer of trust.
This works pretty well also.

True, common law builds trust through precedent, layer by layer, over centuries. It’s a human system, messy but effective. Bitcoin, though, cuts through that with raw, trustless math. No need for hand-me-downs when you’ve got code and consensus. Both work, but bitcoin’s harder to corrupt.
