Is Bitcoin a bubble - and why must it burst?

...system, without risk of fake or duplicate Bitcoins being used. Instead of having a bank verify pending transactions (a “block”), miners check them and, if approved, the block is cryptographically added to the ever-expanding ledger.

James Honeyborne - Earth in Vision

...think above all else we need to be true to nature, and to be true to nature you need to give the context as it really is. So it’s not about what’s palatable to the audience.
