"Thanks to Bitcoin anyone can use the asymmetric defenses of cryptography to their economic advantage. A symmetry is at the heart of Bitcoin security. Hard to guess. Easy to verify. Cooperation is rewarded. Conflict is not. Your keys are private. The ledger is public. Defense is cheap. Disruption is incredibly costly.
It is the asymmetry and cost that gives rise to the crypto economical game theory of Bitcoin. Peaceful and voluntary cooperation. Mutually assured preservation. Sovereignty through cryptography."
~ Dergigi

If you missed this read when it first came out, don't miss it this time around.
