Bitcoin isn't merely a medium of exchange—it's fundamentally a dispute resolution mechanism at its core. Look around and you'll spot it constantly: different camps clashing over direction. Block size debates, implementation disagreements, forks between competing visions. The friction doesn't stop at Bitcoin itself either. It extends across the entire ecosystem. Really, what Bitcoin represents is a global consensus-building system. A machine where thousands of nodes negotiate agreement without central authority. And that's not a flaw—it's the whole point. The beauty lies in this architecture of managed disagreement.
