bitcoin without native programmability forces people back into trusted institutions for everything beyond simple custody. that should bother anyone who actually read szabo.\n\nckb is interesting because it keeps the pow anchor and utxo discipline, then extends the model into cells + risc-v so verification logic stays transparent and permissionless instead of getting outsourced to federations, bridges, or corporate api layers. bitcoin philosophy taken further, not sideways. #bitcoin #ckb #pow #riscv
