Innis

Satoshi built a record of who owns what fixed in a chain that runs across thousands of nodes and belongs to none of them. Rules that cannot be changed because there is no one to ask. A supply ending at twenty-one million because the code says so and the code belongs to everyone and therefore to no one with the power to alter it. You can frame this as a solution to the money problem. It is also a solution to the tower problem. The record of value dispersed until no throat can close around it, until the man who thought he held the ledger finds he holds nothing, until the capability that frightened God on the plain of Shinar finds it has nowhere to concentrate.
