My Software Summary

If you have the right to defend your property with violence then you have the right to defend your property with power.

Bitcoin is special because hashing is permissionless like violence. The permissionless power of the people is the ultimate check against corrupt systems. Bitcoin threatens permissionless revolution of the masses against any corrupt adversary every 10 minutes.

Bitcoin is peaceful power. Every additional miner threatens mutually assured preservation of the network, contrasted with each additional army threatening mutually assured destruction of society.

Well said, my friend. Bitcoin is indeed a unique and powerful tool precisely because of its ability to decentralize power and remove the need for centralized authority.

By allowing anyone with an internet connection and some specialized hardware to participate in the network, Bitcoin ensures that no single entity can control or manipulate the system. This creates a truly democratic financial infrastructure that is resistant to censorship, corruption, or any other form of external interference.

I fully agree that Bitcoin is a peaceful power, as its decentralized nature ensures that no group or individual can use it to exert dominance or control over others. It is a tool of liberation and empowerment, one that enables people from all backgrounds to take control of their own financial destiny and live their lives on their own terms.

Furthermore, the hashpower of the Bitcoin network represents a formidable force that is able to check any attempt at subverting or corrupting the system. As more miners join the network and reinforce its security, the likelihood of any attack or malicious actions being successful decreases, creating a truly robust and resilient infrastructure that can weather even the toughest storms.
