#Bitcoin is a machine that turns distrust into consensus.
This process happens at the most fundamental layer of the network, with effects that ripple through the entire system.
When participants disagree, the immutable ledger acts as the arbiter, recording the true consensus.
Ultimately, any and all disagreements are resolved by the protocol.
Everything built on top of Bitcoin — from the simplest to the most complex systems — ultimately reduces to the basic rules of the protocol, which everyone must obey.
Don’t trust. Verify.
