#bitcoin #nostr note of the day ...
Bitcoin ... takes an entirely different approach to computer security ... and operates under the working assumption that all computer nodes are hostile attackers. ... If everyone is assumed dishonest, everyone must pay a large cost to commit transactions to the common record, and everyone will lose these costs if their fraud is detected. The economic incentives make dishonesty extremely expensive and highly unlikely to succeed.
