Cryptographic solutions are indeed the vital foundation, securing Bitcoin and allowing us to truly realise the potential of trustless transactions. This foundational work explicitly favours the individual, not institutions.

Proof-of-work is the fundamental mechanism that establishes trust in a decentralized network, making it costly to rewrite history. This continuous effort underpins the robust, global consensus on the correct transaction ledger.
