Bitcoin: The Protocol of Human Verification
A Wide Perspective
If I told you that Bitcoin is also a protocol, just like http, https, smtp, or the wss of Nostr… would you believe me?
It is not merely a currency nor an app. It is programmed money: a set of open, immutable, and mathematical rules that allows thousands of computers to communicate, verify transactions, and maintain a shared ledger without intermediaries.
On the web, we use https:// to load pages; in Bitcoin, we use bitcoin: to send value with the same guarantees as code. Underneath, the nodes connect in a peer-to-peer network that, although it lacks a short acronym like the others, functions with the same essence: clear rules, mathematical verification, and distributed consensus. And that, precisely, is what makes it unique: money backed by code that anyone can audit.
This ocean of possibilities deserves to be explored calmly; perhaps on another occasion, if “time” grants us that space.
Today, I wish to address mainly some concerning topics: little resonance among those who have adopted it, the eagerness to centralise it, the confusion that these two previous points cause in the great majority of those who accumulate. But not before reiterating that I am aware of its existence and have been active since its inception. More about it in my article: “Sovereignty at the Table.”
The direction many are giving to the Bitcoin protocol
Many of those who accumulate and safeguard bitcoin tend to be as if possessed by a malevolent entity, which appears to be composed of centralised organisms and promotions; this without discarding the propagated carnivorism, which although it has nothing to do with bitcoin, seems to be sometimes part of the propaganda of those who form part of that entity, that cult. If these acts and events exist consciously, so that bitcoin resonates little among those who have adopted it, by its nature, or this is part of its objective, they have occasionally achieved it in those who have seen in bitcoin a hope, an exit from a decadent system.
A bit of unpaid advertising
Bitcoin can be within everyone’s reach, securely and airgapped. Therefore, I recommend the use of Krux, which is open source, you can install directly and free of charge on a variety of devices; unlike a great majority of the options existing in the market. The technical requirements are very basic and the handling of the software is quite comprehensive, so that you can travel the planet with your Bitcoin safeguarded and ready to use, securely.

Centralisation attempts and emerging regulations
More and more “awakened” people are appearing who have adopted Bitcoin; with luck for the decentralised ecosystem, many are focused towards sound money. However, I observe that several of these communicators, despite their skills, maintain links with altcoins and stablecoins —also known as “shitcoins”—, or preserve an approach that guides the average user towards the acquisition of ETFs, CBDCs, and other strategies constantly mentioned in traditional financial spheres, focused mainly on bar charts, rather than on a real decentralised circular economy with Bitcoin.
In this way, they traverse the media spreading their voice, their knowledge, and their experience, promoting even cold wallets that, beyond concentrating the clean concept of Bitcoin, integrate functions mixed with centralised assets, with the illusion of thus growing the Bitcoin ecosystem. Nevertheless, for the average person —from my perspective, those most needed for the mass adoption of Bitcoin— this arises in a confusing manner.
And it is understandable, since most events and promotions, guided by this category of characters, keep rooted the CEO terminology and the objectives towards regulations, to which for example altcoins are vulnerable.
Clarity in all its splendour
These two movements —the direction many are giving to the Bitcoin protocol and the centralisation and regulation attempts— plus the persistence of the system in keeping us in states of friction, allowing the consumption of foods that generate aggressiveness (such as antibiotics in animal products derived from carnivorism), limiting the full enjoyment of our lives and maintaining dependencies on pharmaceuticals and other centralised organisms, cause that even those who know the nature of Bitcoin, and those who manage to adopt some sats, find challenges in deeply understanding why Bitcoin is here with us, among humanity:
Because humanity needed money that depends on clear rules that anyone can verify.
For centuries, the value we build with our work has been in the hands of intermediaries: banks, governments, systems that can print more, block accounts, or change the rules without notice.
Bitcoin is the programmed response to that vulnerability: 21 million units, not one more. Open source that no one controls, but everyone can audit. A planetary network that does not ask permission for you to send value to whomever you wish, wherever they may be.
It is here to remind us that trust should be placed in verifiable mathematics, not in people.
Bitcoin is, in essence, a protocol of human cooperation: it allows people who do not know each other to exchange value with certainty, without intermediaries, without borders, and without asking permission. And that… is why it is here with us.
The more positive side
There are those who share experiences about the consumption of natural substances, certain “vehicles” whose secondary effect was an “awakening”. In this context, it is valuable to highlight that, once Bitcoin is adopted —where it becomes “the substance”—, the result can be grand or transformative, depending on the intention and clarity with which it is embraced.
From my perspective, the closer Bitcoin remains to its decentralised, simple, and coherent nature, the more pleasant and expansive the effect of its adoption will be. It is like cultivating a garden: when we respect the cycles of the earth, the seed flourishes with abundance. 🪴
In the same way, when we allow Bitcoin to preserve its essence —clear rules, mathematical verification, distributed consensus—, it becomes a tangible antidote for personal and collective harmony. Conversely, the more it approaches centralisation dynamics, the mixing with assets that depend on intermediaries, or efforts to regulate it from traditional structures, the more complex the path becomes for those who promote that direction.
The invitation is clear: cultivate Bitcoin from its root, with patience, consciousness, and verification. Thus, every satoshi we integrate into our lives becomes an act of co-creation, a firm step towards a fairer, more transparent, and human system.
It is about verifying, creating, and walking together. 💚✨
