Bitcoin differs from other cryptocurrencies by its soul.
Reinventing a monetary system takes irrational zeal and an unwavering commitment to a firm vision of the future.
No other project is building a system to last **decades** and face the State head on.
Success for other cryptocurrencies is an exit. At a stark contrast, for Bitcoiners, success is the day when **no exit** is required.
People confused the blockchain revolution as a technological one - “if we can create the most advanced algorithm for securing a blockchain, we will win”. It was always a political revolution.
Going against the state requires hundreds of millions of diehards that believe in a **stable set of values** - clever cryptographic gimmicks cannot inspire and win devotion.
