In essence, #bitcoin  is a once-to-be-invented protocol.

A set of rules that you can follow to gain value from the system that is built upon this set of rules.

"This system" is a digital, worldwide, open-source, predictable, permissionless, trustless, and a-political network where monetary value can be stored and/or exchanged with any other user of the system, through time and space.

For the first time ever (and to never be invented twice).

If you do not follow its rules, you can not benefit from it.

So Bitcoin's protocol is everything and at the same time, it is... "just a protocol" that doesn't care what anybody thinks of it.

It's just working as intended.

You can join if you think it adds value to your life, or not.

Simple but profound.
