What happens to a network designed to remove the need to trust anyone at any point?
I don’t have to trust you.
You don’t have to trust me.
We certainly don’t have to trust them.
What happens when you squeeze the last drop of trust out it, when you create a sterile zero trust environment?
What happens when nothing in the network’s history depends on trust, on interpretations, on political opinions, on trusting others to summarise and explain?
What if you know you will never need an ounce of trust using the network tomorrow, next year, next decade, next century?
Paradoxically what you end up with is the largest most trustworthy network ever created. Bitcoin.
