A New Paradigm
Bitcoin represents a new paradigm, the paradigm of self-sovereignty and extreme ownership. It is this paradigm that makes sovereign engineering a necessity. Lyn Alden said it best:
"Bitcoin companies don't want your bitcoin. They want you to hold your bitcoin. The whole point of Bitcoin is to avoid counterparty risk."The whole point is to put the individual in charge, to put the user in control again. With control comes freedom, and with freedom comes responsibility.
