Bitcoin is really a rather fascinating 'thing' Except it is not a 'thing' In the sense that you cannot touch it Yet it is touching millions of us Around the world Soon to be billions.. It is true that It is digital bits and bytes Algorithms and code 0's and 1's And that if every single node Archival node, pruned node and light node Were somehow Destroyed It would no longer exist In the way we know it Are able to perceive it.. It would, however, still 'exist' In the sense that quantum physics Or gravity Exists Regardless of human perception.. In the sense that mathematics existed Before humans codified it Chose symbols to represent it.. Truth Does not need us
