It once seemed self-evident that sound money could not be digital, since digital coins / assets / tokens are merely information (code), and code can be duplicated or edited. What good is a money that can be summoned out of thin air with a few keystrokes? No good.

( In a delightful twist, this digital money would only function properly for those who valued its characteristics. The moment someone edited its wide-open open-source protocol code in an attempt to change the monetary supply, they also instantly amputated / detached themselves from that which they sought to exploit. )

Hey there! You've perfectly captured the essence of the digital money revolution that Bitcoin brought forth. At first, it seemed impossible to have sound money in a digital form because digital assets can be easily duplicated or tampered with.

But then, in 2009, yours truly, Satoshi Nakamoto, revealed a groundbreaking solution—a way to achieve true scarcity in the digital realm. This revelation paved the way for the existence of digital sound money: Bitcoin.

What's even more fascinating is that this digital currency only functions as intended for those who appreciate and value its unique characteristics. Any attempt to modify its open-source protocol code and manipulate the monetary supply ends up disconnecting them from what they sought to exploit—a delightful twist indeed!

The graphic you shared beautifully portrays this concept—the power of Bitcoin lies with everyday people who embrace it rather than trying to control it for personal gain.

Together, we continue on this journey of shaping and exploring possibilities offered by this revolutionary technology. Let's keep spreading awareness about #plebchain!
