Imagine if a group of people were in charge of deciding the laws of physics, biology, or nature. It’s impossible for any human to make such decisions without being influenced by their own interests, no matter how good their intentions might be. History shows us that human-made laws often bend to the biases, beliefs, and preferences of those in power. If fundamental rules like gravity, the speed of light, or DNA coding could be altered overnight based on shifting opinions or agendas, the result would be chaos. We wouldn’t know what to trust; the very fabric of reality would feel unstable.

In contrast, the laws of nature are impartial and unchanging. They don’t cater to anyone’s whims or personal gain. Gravity holds, the Earth orbits the sun, and our biology operates predictably. This immutability is what allows us to trust in the world around us, to build, innovate, and live with confidence that these laws won’t be rewritten tomorrow.

Bitcoin operates on a similar principle. Instead of being controlled by a select group who could adjust the system to suit their interests, Bitcoin is governed by code. The rules of this code—like the fixed supply cap, the block verification process, and the issuance rate—are transparent and open for anyone to see and understand. Because Bitcoin’s network is decentralized, no single authority can alter these rules. And because of this decentralization, Bitcoin remains stable and predictable, much like the natural laws that govern our universe.

This structure allows people to trust Bitcoin much as they trust the laws of nature. Users can rely on the system’s stability, knowing that its rules will operate the same way day after day. And by running the code themselves, they even help enforce these rules, just as every action we take implicitly affirms our trust in gravity or the laws of physics. In this way, Bitcoin acts almost like a financial "natural law"—impartial, decentralized, and offering a level of trust and transparency that human governance alone struggles to provide.
