Bitcoin: Law Without Priests

Bitcoin is law without priests: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system where proof beats trust. Proof-of-Work converts energy into security, chaining blocks into an unforgeable history. Nodes (not rulers) enforce fixed rules—21M cap, halving, valid signatures—while miners compete for block rewards and fees. The result is permissionless, censorship-resistant, final settlement that makes money borderless, sovereign (via private keys), and independent of policy. Time becomes law; inflation games end.

Why Bitcoin Should Stay Bitcoin and Be Divided into Satoshis?

Bitcoin, the first and most iconic cryptocurrency, is more than just money—it’s a revolution in how we think about finance, trust, and freedom. Since its creation in 2008 by the enigmatic Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin has become a symbol of decentralization and resilience. Recently, however, a controversial idea has surfaced in the crypto community: renaming the smallest unit of Bitcoin, the satoshi, to “bitcoin” and phasing out the term “bitcoin” for the whole unit. This speculative proposal has sparked heated debates. In this article, we’ll explain why Bitcoin must remain Bitcoin, satoshis must remain satoshis, and why renaming is not only unnecessary but also harmful.

Why 21 Million?

Yesterday, Martti Malmi released emails he claims Satoshi wrote. We have no way to verify this, but his story seems plausible. In one email Satoshi says why he chose 21 million and how he thinks the value of bitcoin will be measured.
