 Enterprise people love saying that to every software that is core of their business. But there is nothing special about Bitcoin. It's a piece of software just like any other. What users do WITH it is the special part.

 Enterprise software is centralized, bitcoin is not. If enterprise software fucks up big time it's almost always recoverable. Not the case with bitcoin.

 Bitcoin has fucked up multiple times in the past and has recovered just fine. Hard forks have happened intentionally and not, and will very likely continue to happen especially if other Bitcoin implementations start to pop up everywhere. And this is all a feature, not a bug.
