Well, the main question is what makes Bitcoin secure.
It is secured by proofs of work which are produced by miners.
Miners have economic incentives to play by the rules; in simple terms, that
is more profitable than performing attacks.
So the question is, why and when it works? It would be nice to know the
boundaries, no?
