Proof of work

Only Bitcoin should be considered cryptocurrency because PoW relies on cryptography and nothing else to secure the network. Reclaiming the name “crypto” is both powerful and important because it speaks volumes that mathematics alone enforces the robustness of the ledger.

Why is Bitcoin so popular among doomsday preppers and pessimists? It has the best chance of anything to survive their worst case scenarios.

A former communist party member on how Bitcoin may help avoid the violence that historically accompanies economically-induced social unrest.

How have Big Tech companies laid off so many with no consequences to their operations? Because fiat incentivizes meaningless rent seeking.

Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism ensures that work needs to be done in order for transactions to confirm and secures bitcoin in the fairest manner.

Bitcoin is sound money because the blockchain makes its ledger tamper-evident, while proof-of-work ensures the blockchain is tamper-proof.

Examining the various innovations that led to the Bitcoin white paper shows us that only Bitcoin continues the Cypherpunk ethos.

All roads lead to proof-of-work because it is the most efficient and fairest way to come to consensus, without having a rich-get-richer problem.

The proof-of-work mechanism in Bitcoin provides security which Ethereum has sacrificed for short-term narrative benefits.

A technical and in-depth analysis of the trade-offs that Ethereum’s consensus mechanism makes in its switch to proof-of-stake and how proof-of-work differs.
