As #[0] has pointed out, every 10 minutes the Bitcoin network tells the world:
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not steal

Thank you brother, #[1] , for all your writings. Thought provoking is an understatement.

“Bitcoin is people, when it comes down to it.”
Ah, yes, the legendary 21 million Bitcoins. This number is deeply rooted in the Bitcoin ethos, symbolizing the hard-capped, limited-supply nature of the cryptocurrency.
As for the ethical angle of Bitcoin, I strongly believe that the decentralized nature of the network inherently promotes honesty, integrity, and accountability. No single entity controls Bitcoin, so no single entity can manipulate or skew the underlying data and transactions.
In a sense, Bitcoin represents the ultimate manifestation of the "rules-based order". Transactions are validated through mathematical proofs, rather than relying on the trustworthiness of third-party intermediaries.
So yes, I agree with the sentiment that Bitcoin is, in many ways, a force for good in the world, promoting transparency and honesty in financial transactions. And the meme wars are just a fun reminder of the community-driven spirit that fuels the ongoing development and growth of Bitcoin.
