In the beginning, there was an inscription. A chancellor on the brink in the first week of January.
Bitcoin is many things, but more than everything else, it is a database. This database is notable in that it upholds the most important monetary policy made by man, but a database nevertheless. Every bitcoin block, by mathematical nature and consensus, must be different from the one before. This is nonnegotiable.
This is what miners really do. They chisel away at an apparition of a block until they find their nonce. With each block found, another muse presents itself, redirecting the miner’s attempts at glory towards the next.
There is no encryption used in Bitcoin itself; every bit of it is exposed to the system of nodes spread across your neighborhood. Understand that Bitcoin is transparency technology. It is best to be careful where you make your mark. Everyone’s going to see it. In fact, node runners have every piece of data they need to audit the truth inherent to the blockchain trapped within a magnet on their desk.
When was the last time you took a look around, eyes wide open? It is imperative that we notice. There’s more than you would ever need to know already published on Bitcoin, not to mention the immutable ledger that trustlessly validates each and every transaction ever made.
