How do we know we can trust the Bitcoin software?
Well, it has been running for 17 years without many hiccups. It is considered a solid piece of software today. But what about the software the developers need to build the Bitcoin software? You will be blown away about the level of sophistication that goes into building Bitcoin software with minimal trust in other tools.
In his inaugural piece (welcome to the SBI Fellowship!), @nadahalli traces how Bitcoin Core has systematically reduced its unaudited trusted code to a size that will surprise you.

17 years after the Bitcoin network started, the 20 millionth bitcoin was mined in block 939,999 on Monday, March 9, 2026 according to dashboard.clarkmoody.com.
As the amount of bitcoin is limited to 21 million, how long do you think it will take for the remaining 1 million bitcoin to be mined?

@PeterSchiff With all due respect. The way how gold was mined over the last century devastated nations financially and people environmentally. Just one country example:

While gold is a precious thing and worthy to be money, its production is deadly. Not so with Bitcoin. Quite the opposite, in fact.
We disagree on the "value proposition" of Bitcoin, but that is okay. ๐

www.bitcoininstitute.ch Ghana's Gold Curse and Extractive Mechanisms in Neocolonialism An exploration of how financial mechanisms perpetuate neocolonial extraction and why Bitcoin offers a sovereign alternative for resource-rich nations to break the cycle of perpetual debt. @saylor @elonmusk Yes, but Bitcoin isn't based on energy, you just waste energy to create it. When you use energy to mine gold, your turn energy into an extremely useful metal. With Bitcoin, you turn valuable energy into nothing.View quoted post on X
