Hello friends!
I have been watching Bitcoin videos this afternoon, mostly about the figure of Satoshi Nakamoto.
I want to thank Satoshi for giving birth to the best invention since the internet. Bitcoin!
Satoshi removed his own face from Bitcoin so it could be truly decentralized. No leaders, no one in charge, no personality controlling the protocol.
And it’s true. If Satoshi had stayed around, maybe the media would have made him the “CEO of Bitcoin.” Governments could have tried to pressure him. People would look to him for approval instead of looking at the code. It would have been dangerous.
By disappearing, Satoshi made sure Bitcoin belongs to everyone and no one at the same time. It’s a system that runs on math, rules, and consensus. And not on speeches or political power.
This is one of the reasons Bitcoin is so unique. Every other project in crypto still has a visible founder or leader. They can get arrested, influenced, or corrupted. Bitcoin has no such weakness. You can’t cancel Bitcoin by removing one person.
For us HODLers, this matters a lot. It means when we stack sats, we’re supporting an idea, not a personality. We’re betting on a protocol that keeps going, block after block, even if nobody is there to lead it. It also means Bitcoin can survive long after we’re gone. There’s no single point of failure—no head of the snake to cut off. It’s like the internet itself: a network too big and too distributed to stop.
Sometimes people ask me, “But who’s behind Bitcoin?” I smile and say, “No one… and that’s the beauty.”
This design gives Bitcoin incredible resilience. Leaders can make mistakes. Leaders can be bribed or threatened. Math can’t. Rules that everyone agrees on can’t be manipulated by a single ego. So here’s my thought for today: We don’t need a face for Bitcoin. We just need the idea to stay alive, and the code to keep running. That’s enough.
I hope you have a great week!
Enjoy!
