What blew me away was realizing that Bitcoin isn’t just an immutable ledger, a unit of measure, digital property, or a currency. It’s more than energy and absolute scarcity, more than a global network. It’s a digital entity that adapts and survives on its own, like a living system. It’s profoundly more than all of this—an autonomous force that self-regulates and thrives without any central control. It’s a new kind of existence, quietly evolving in the digital realm.
