Why does Bitcoin exist? Here's the thing—traditional trust models don't really scale. You're always dependent on some intermediary to vouch for you, whether it's a bank, a payment processor, or whatever. But once you need to coordinate across millions of people globally? That system breaks. Bitcoin solves this by replacing institutional credibility with mathematical certainty. You don't need to trust anyone anymore; you trust the protocol instead. That's the whole game-changer—a ledger nobody controls, yet everyone can verify. It's credibility without the middleman.

That's true, but in practice, the transaction fees are extremely high.

Well said, but the truth is that only a minority of people actually use Bitcoin, and most still rely on centralized exchanges.

Basically, Nakamoto created a math problem to replace the trust of bankers. It's hilarious. Now, the whole world is trusting or not trusting machines instead of people.

Mathematical certainty is truly absolute, but in reality, there are still many people being scammed.

Can mathematical certainty really replace trust? I still need to ponder this logic a bit more.

Mathematical certainty beats trust? Wake up, code is also written by humans.
