Bitcoin...

A silent project operating in the background. It has no face. Its founders launched it and then left. Like an elegant watch that was wound up in an instant, it kept ticking. No promises of a complex protocol coming in 3, 5, or 10 years. Bitcoin carries out its function now without self-promotion from its founders. And because it doesn’t need self-promotion to grow, it is protected from the harms of the marketing tactics practiced by greedy, charismatic leaders behind overly complicated projects. Yes, there are Saylor and Novogratz who sometimes fall into this role. But Bitcoin doesn’t need them to keep going, and it won’t need them when they depart. The project is working now. It does what it was designed to do, and it will continue to do so. Bitcoin is the currency of the future that we read about in science-fiction novels.

There is no Krypto Kris to market lousy debit cards. There is no Do Kwon to appear on the cover of Forbes wearing a black shirt with a white background in the style of Steve Jobs. There is no Jerome Powell expanding the money supply with a magic wand and creating, out of nothing, a $9 trillion budget.

Bitcoin removes human corruption from the equation, because the humans who made it stepped aside. Yes, people will build corrupt systems around it. But Bitcoin itself is a simple, pure, and elegant machine, ticking quietly in the background—until the sound of its ticking rises so high that no one can ignore it
