Bitcoin is an open source censorship-resistant peer-to-peer immutable network. Trackable digital gold. Don't trust; verify. Not your keys; not your coins.
Your past self made trades to benefit your future self. As a result, now your current self now has that exact amount of bitcoin:native. Everyone has potential and beliefs.
The sequence is straightforward: potential feeds belief, belief drives action, action produces results, and those results either strengthen or weaken the original belief.
