Bitcoin’s Power: Why It Matters Bitcoin is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful - computer network in the world. • In politics, armies project power to protect nations. • In finance, banks project power to control money. • In Bitcoin, hashrate—a planet-sized ocean of computing energy—projects power to protect your privacy, consent, and freedom. The U.S. Navy’s nuclear fleet is one of the strongest forces on Earth. Yet the Bitcoin network quietly consumes even more raw power every single day. That energy doesn’t guard borders or governments—it guards a voluntary, incorruptible ledger. Think of Bitcoin as a global firewall made of electricity. To attack it, you’d need to outspend entire nations in energy and hardware. It’s like trying to outshine the Sun with a flashlight. Every block is another gigawatt-thick wall of concrete around history. To rewrite it, an attacker would need to tear down all previous walls—while the network keeps building new ones faster than they can be destroyed. Bitcoin transforms raw energy into incorruptible security. For the first time in history, freedom is defended not by armies or banks—but by electricity and math. 🧮🟧
