What makes Bitcoin revolutionary? Three breakthroughs stand out.

First, it handed ownership to the crowd. Not some boardroom, not a handful of VCs—the network belongs to everyone participating.

Then there's the wealth effect. Users don't just use the system; they capture its upside directly. The more adoption, the more they benefit.

But here's the kicker: cutting out gatekeepers entirely. Bitcoin created true peer-to-peer exchange. No banks skimming fees. No institutions holding veto power. Just direct transfer between participants.

These weren't incremental improvements. They redefined how digital networks could operate.
