Bitcoin’s decentralization is its core strength. It ensures no single entity can control the network, protecting its neutrality, censorship resistance, and global accessibility. This resilience is what makes #Bitcoin the foundation of sound money for a digital age.

However, decentralization isn’t just about running nodes—it’s also about making it feasible for more people to do so. That’s why we must prioritize simplicity in Bitcoin’s node software. Complex code not only increases the risk of bugs but also raises barriers to understanding, auditing, and maintaining the protocol.

By keeping the codebase lean and efficient, we ensure Bitcoin remains accessible to individuals, not just corporations or institutions. A simpler, more transparent protocol strengthens trust and encourages broader participation—essential for Bitcoin’s long-term health.

Decentralization isn’t automatic; it’s a choice we make every day. Let’s commit to safeguarding Bitcoin’s ethos by valuing simplicity and inclusivity in its design.
