The independent audit of Bitcoin Core is a perfect example of why open source matters. Bitcoin was designed so no one has to take anyone’s word for anything. Every line of code is public. Anyone can verify how the system works.
This audit highlights the strength of that model. There is no back room. No hidden process. No corporate secrecy. No mystery firmware. Just transparent engineering that can be checked and challenged by the entire world.
Compare that to closed systems that rely on trust. Compare it to companies that hide their code or their hardware behind NDAs. That is the difference between Bitcoin and everything else.
Auditing Bitcoin Core reinforces confidence in the network. It strengthens the ecosystem. It shows again that sunlight is not a threat. It is a foundation.
