Big B, little b
#Bitcoin is a network that offers three properties:
1. Absolute scarcity: 21m hardcap
2. Uncensorable transactions: everyone everywhere
3. Unconfiscatable money: yours, always.
#bitcoin is the token that accrues value to people who value the network properties👇
Bitcoin is opt-in
If any, or all, of those network properties seem valuable to you, then you can choose to earn, buy or mine some bitcoin; millions have people have, and more do each day.
But there is no marketing team, no CEO and no force compelling you to do so👇
Bitcoin is open and transparent
There is no gate-keeping in Bitcoin, no group with special powers. The source code for the software is open source. Anyone can run the software, interact with the network or own bitcoin
It's extremely important and vigorously defended👇
Don't trust, verify
The first and most important maxim, which depends entirely upon Bitcoin remaining open and transparent.
There are no trusted groups. Decisions are made in the open. Consensus for change is extremely hard .. and publicly observable
Never forget this👇
Bitcoin is ..
.. unique. It's "like" lots of things but the sum of its properties makes it entirely unique which makes it both fascinating, and interesting to learn about. It is many different things to many different people.
So where to start if you're curious?👇
Have a look for your local Bitcoin meetup
My learning really accelerated when I started going to meetups and talking with other bitcoiners; they've all walked the same path, asked the early questions, and they ALL love to talk about #Bitcoin and learn together!
