The 12 Days of Christmas | The Sixth Day
Bitcoin offers a system strengthened through shared responsibility, not concentrated power.
“On the sixth day of Christmas, Bitcoin gave to me… six nodes a-syncing.”
Creation reflects a distributed design: many parts working together under consistent principles. No single part holds total control.
Bitcoin’s nodes follow this same pattern. Each node maintains a complete record of the rules and history of the system. Nodes verify transactions and ensure that no one breaks the protocol. Because they exist globally and independently, no single group controls Bitcoin.
This structure protects the system from corruption. There is no central authority to pressure or compromise.
Decentralization is not simply a technical choice. It is a safeguard that promotes fairness and resilience.
