The ONLY novel feature of the bitcoin network is censorship resistance

NOTHING else about it is new. Auditability isn’t, authentication with public key cryptography isn’t new, digital payments sure aren’t new.

It’s ALL about censorship resistance, without that you have nothing.
All of the things you can do with bitcoin and can’t do with traditional digital systems are because of censorship resistance

Using it without submitting documents? Avoiding waiting for transactions to be processed? Speculating on shitcoins? ALL thanks to censorship resistance
Shitcoin projects that are cutting corners with censorship resistance to “improve other aspects” simply don’t get it. They’re getting rid of the only thing that matters and focus on all the things that don’t. We can do EVERYTHING BUT CENSORSHIP RESISTANCE with traditional tech
