Why is Bitcoin interesting? Just one out of many? No, Bitcoin is more than a crypto asset. Satoshi Nakamoto wanted us to reflect on the current monetary scheme, introducing a technology that is censorship-resistance, limited, unstoppable, decentralized and its transactions immutable. Going forward, I hope its POW mechanism will inform further discussions on the use of sustainable energy resources.
