SHA-256: The Underestimated Security of $BTC
🧠On the internet, everyone has an opinion about Bitcoin.
But how many actually have an opinion about the protection behind it?
Why do so many people speak with such conviction about Bitcoin, yet don’t even know what SHA-256 or RIPEMD-160 is?
SHA-256 is not just a "technical name".
It is the algorithm that makes it virtually impossible to forge blocks, hack your wallet, or alter data on the blockchain.
That’s because it transforms any input (like transaction data) into a unique sequence of 256 bits (64 hexadecimal characters) — and just adding a comma is enough to completely change that sequence.
💡 But what difference does this make to you?
It is one of the most secure systems ever created. Never, in the history of humanity, has a monetary system been protected by an immutable standard with such mathematical strength... or better yet, by such complex cryptography.
🛑 Do you know which system does not have SHA-256?
FIAT
🔓 A weak password, a malicious employee, or a simple data leak and...
Your money becomes a thing of the past. In fact, recently, a major financial institution had customer data leaked.
But you never saw the headline: "Bitcoin user data was leaked".
Those who understand the logic behind SHA-256 don’t ask if they will buy Bitcoin. They ask when they will increase their position.
