Show Notes

Bitcoin’s strength lies in its core properties—trust minimization, decentralization, censorship resistance, and more. But what exactly defines these principles, and why do they matter? In this episode, I revisit Jameson Lopp’s What Are the Key Properties of Bitcoin?, a piece that breaks down the fundamental attributes that make Bitcoin what it is. Along the way, I share updated thoughts on how these ideas hold up today, especially in the face of ongoing protocol debates and potential future threats like quantum computing. Understanding Bitcoin’s foundations isn’t just theory—it’s essential for knowing where we stand and where we’re headed.
