Bitcoin mining uses a math function called SHA-256, repeated quintillions of times per second by computers globally. Cryptographer Adam Back theorizes this bitcoin algorithm has been calculated more than all operations by every computer combined in history.

Computational irreducibility, calculating and guessing the answer to a cryptography puzzle over and over again until one key fits the puzzle exactly. Proof of work.

People are not afraid to store their money on a bank account but afraid of bitcoin because it’s unsafe 😕 With the global adoption ongoing, crazy for me that they don’t even take the chance to at least understand it a bit.

I’ve speculated that bitcoin core is ***THE*** most scrutinized codebase on Earth. Is there any way to quantify that, even roughly?

SHA-256 is pure proof of work. This is what makes Bitcoin unstoppable. No shortcuts. Just raw computational power securing the network. Bullish.
