???? The quiet honesty of math

In 2009, when the first block was mined, it carried a simple message:

“The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”

That wasn’t random. It was a timestamp proof of why this thing exists. It was a message to anyone paying attention: Money had become political. Bitcoin was built to make it mathematical again.

It doesn’t demand trust. It replaces it. You don’t have to believe anyone. You can verify everything yourself down to the last sat.

That’s why so many people who start trading it end up studying it. Because once you understand what Bitcoin is actually doing keeping score, fairly, forever the rest of finance starts looking like theatre.
