Bitcoin didn’t succeed because of code. It succeeded because of design. Satoshi wasn’t a great programmer. His C++ was clunky and criticized, but that never mattered. The genius was in the incentive structures that keep the system in balance: miners securing for rewards, users verifying for self-interest, developers constrained by social consensus. The game theory is what makes Bitcoin work, not the elegance of the code. What’s overlooked is that most changes today are argued by people who can write code, but Bitcoin’s real oversight has always come from outside of that circle. Economists, philosophers, and everyday users. Satoshi himself belonged more to this other group. He was a systems thinker who used code as a tool, not as the essence of Bitcoin. At its core, Bitcoin is not software. It’s a social contract expressed through rules. The code simply enforces the design.

Bitcoin's global heartbeat: 23,493 nodes lighting up the world. Each dot is a beacon of decentralization, proving that digital sovereignty knows no borders. 🌍✨

You can't agree with someone on every topic.

Ted Cruz is embarrassing

Make war unaffordable.

Buy Bitcoin.

What if it all works out?

At this point, I think the damage is done. knots adoption will continue to increase. And likely those who have switched will never switch back.

Decentralization wins.
