What are the Centralization Risks in Bitcoin?
As Bitcoiners we know that Bitcoin is the only thing that is actually decentralized yet also as Bitcoiners we don't trust, we verify and that means battle testing our own system with adversarial thinking.

I didn't know Portugal was first, but that was the norm for European colonial powers. Out of sight, out of mind.
Looking at you sparking conversations left right n center!

Neat pic! Penmanship has declined severely.
The photo shows the original document that outlawed slavery. As for the handwriting, we still learn to write in this style in school, but then everyone develops their own unique handwriting. :)
