🤯 Fun Fact Thursday! Did you know? Bitcoin miners don't create Bitcoin by solving math problems. They compete to earn the right to add the next block of transactions to the blockchain. The "puzzle" is simply how the network decides who gets that opportunity. #Bitcoin #ProofOfWork

📚 Readers’ Friday Book Club Tonight, we’re discussing Chapter 10: “Keys to the Code” from Hijacking Bitcoin by Roger Ver and Steve Patterson. Bitcoin is often described as a system no government or institution can control. But what happens when we look beyond the code? This chapter challenges the idea that Bitcoin is completely immune to human influence, arguing that custody, institutions, developers, and social decisions can all shape how Bitcoin is used and controlled. Is Bitcoin truly beyond anyone’s control, or does its security ultimately depend on the people who use and maintain it? 🕕 6:00 PM UTC 💬 Discord:
