Most people underestimate the quiet engine keeping Bitcoin secure. Every 2016 blocks, the network recalibrates its difficulty to target a 10-minute block time, whether 10 or 10,000 exahashes are mining. This self-correction ensures stable issuance and security even as massive hash rate shifts occur.
As BTC climbs past $80K, how do you view this automatic scaling mechanism compared to other digital assets?
