And can the network be manipulated?

Since its inception, Bitcoin has sparked widespread controversy among financial institutions, experts, the media, and even academics. Initially, it was met with skepticism, ridicule, and rejection, and was considered a fleeting phenomenon without a future.

However, over time, the equation began to shift. Bitcoin is establishing itself, and its resistors are starting to retreat one by one. The question is no longer: 'Will Bitcoin succeed?' but rather: 'Who will submit to it first?'

The first to submit: the money holders

Financial men and capital holders are the first to change their positions, not out of love for Bitcoin, but because they are people of numbers and results. If a profit opportunity arises, they quickly retract their positions.

We saw this with Larry Fink, the head of the world's largest investment firm, who shifted from being a fierce opponent of digital currency to one of its most enthusiastic supporters. For him, there is no room for arrogance, only for profits.

Financial journalism... a step behind capital

After investors, come financial journalists, known for their precision and caution. They cannot continue to attack something that achieves continuous success year after year. They will start with gradual acknowledgment, then neutrality, and finally implicit promotion, especially when the positions of major investors and financial institutions change.

The mainstream media... the voice of the public

The mainstream media does not follow the facts but repeats what the public wants to hear.

When the narrative of 'Bitcoin is a danger' becomes unbelievable, the media will have to change its tone and talk about 'the advantages of Bitcoin' and 'success stories' as it did with many innovations it previously resisted, only to later embrace them.

The last to acknowledge: the academics

Those who cling most to their positions are the academics; their problem is not with the correctness or incorrectness of the idea, but with its conflict with their entrenched beliefs. They will continue to reject it for a long time, even after everyone else acknowledges it. They believe that acknowledgment means abandoning an entire framework of thought, which is difficult for them to accept.

But... can Bitcoin be manipulated?

Despite the rise of the large 'whales' and their purchase of massive amounts of Bitcoin, the design of this currency prevents it from being controlled. Bitcoin is a decentralized system that operates on a proof-of-work mechanism and relies on a global network of node operators. No one has the ability to unilaterally change the rules, and there is no 'leader' of the currency.

Even major investors are subject to the same rules that apply to the ordinary user. No entity can monopolize supply or impose changes on the protocol, as everything is managed through a decentralized consensus, supported by smart contracts and an open community.

A network that cannot be deceived

Whether some try to manipulate the price or influence network behavior, Bitcoin records are immutable and cannot be overridden.

Absolute transparency prevents fraud and creates a permanent record for every transaction, giving the system exceptional strength in resisting corruption and manipulation.

The real power: decentralized participation

The strength of Bitcoin does not come from a leadership figure or a central entity, but from anyone's ability to participate, verify, operate, and store assets themselves. It is a currency that redefines trust, not in people, but in open code and transparent rules.

In summary:

Bitcoin is not just a digital currency; it is an intellectual and economic revolution.

It is steadily moving toward global adoption and does not wait for anyone's recognition.

Whether you are an early adopter or one of the last to submit, the real question today is no longer

Will Bitcoin endure?

Rather, 'Are you ready to withstand it?'
