Bitcoin is like a virtual Swiss watch, with the base layer being the center wheel and PoW mining being the mainspring. The third wheel is the BIP300 protocol and the fourth wheel is LN and other L2s. The nodes are the balance wheels.

Funny to see all the Darkweb tech ( TOR, PGP, BTC, etc ) coming to the mainstream. I guess it was only a matter of time.
