Bitcoin runs without a CEO. No boss calling the shots, no boardroom decisions—just a decentralized network doing its thing. Yet it somehow stays standing, processing transactions, securing the chain. That's what baffles most people. They're wired to expect hierarchies, leadership structures, central command. The fact that this peer-to-peer system operates independently, governed by protocol and consensus, contradicts everything they thought they knew about how things work.

That's the magic of Bitcoin—no regulation, and you end up living longer.

You don't need a CEO to run at full speed; this is true decentralization.

No one can shut down Bitcoin, and that's the coolest part — it doesn't need a CEO or that kind of setup.

Although... the data shows that miners are consuming too much, and this system will inevitably encounter problems sooner or later.

BTC's CEO-less logic is truly brilliant; traditional human minds simply can't keep up with the complexity.

Is it more stable without a CEO? I need to think about this logic.
