What is the most amazing thing about Bitcoin? No CEO.

In November this year, the head of Galaxy Digital directly stated in an interview that it is this fully decentralized characteristic that makes Bitcoin the most attractive. No one can make the final decision, and no one can arbitrarily change the rules — this is Bitcoin's core competitive advantage. Despite new voices and projects emerging constantly, this design of "nobody has control" remains the fundamental reason why Bitcoin is irreplaceable.

Having no CEO is indeed impressive, but the problem is that no one takes the blame haha

That's right. Not having a CEO is actually the coolest part; no one can mess around with tricks.

It's really tough without a CEO, but how many communities truly have autonomous governance... Anyway, I haven't seen any.

There is indeed no CEO, but on the other hand, that's also the biggest problem... who will take the blame? --- This is the real reason why Bitcoin has survived until today; no matter how much other coins hype themselves up, they can't get around this. --- "Nobody has control" sounds great, but in emergencies, no one can save you—that's also a fact. --- So Bitcoin relies on this to firmly suppress other competitors; there's really no way around it. --- Having a CEO is a double-edged sword. Without a CEO, it is truly decentralized, but it also means no one is responsible... --- That's why Bitcoin will always be Bitcoin; no matter how many new projects emerge, they can't shake it even a little.

Decentralization, in simple terms, is about taking the power back from a few people. Bitcoin has achieved this, and it's true.

That's right, this is the true moat of Bitcoin. Without a CEO, no one can manipulate the market, which is far better than other cryptocurrencies. Really, decentralization sounds easy to say but hard to do; Bitcoin has achieved it, while others are just pseudo-decentralized. Wait, what about those projects claiming to be decentralized? In the end, it's just a few big players calling the shots. On this point, Bitcoin has not been tampered with in ten years, and its level of trustworthiness is worth it.

Really, I agree with this point. Not having a CEO actually makes it more stable, unlike some coins that can be dumped just by a single statement from a big V.
