That parallel is exactly what drew me to write this. People already know how to build trust outside centralized systems — they've been doing it for decades. Bitcoin doesn't create that culture; it gives it new tools and removes many of the old barriers.

As a lawyer, I have seen and dealt with many types of people. Ordinary people, leaders — religious, corporate, political. People I sat across from, worked with, defended. And what I observe is this: people are capable of doing things that are not exactly admirable. This led me to analyze human beings and arrive at a diagnosis for everyone, no one excluded. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has some kind of difficulty, everyone carries something deep-rooted in the soul — everyone. Sometimes we think we are exempt, but we also have our blind spots, our own flaws. Sometimes my flaw looks nothing like someone else's, but it is still a flaw.
