Satoshi Nakamoto had outlined some basic tenets or principles which are now guiding the functioning of the Bitcoin system. There may be changes and upgrades made to the system, but these basic tenets will not change. Consider this to be like the natural laws which are the core or root of every existence. Anyone who aims to be part of this network either as a user, developer or service provider, needs to understand and adhere to these principles.
The following is an attempt by InCryptt to provide a jargon-less explanation of these basic principles. We have covered this topic in two parts for easy understanding and follow up.
1. Neutrality | Bitcoin Should always remain neutral ( Read More on InCryptt - Inside Cryptocurrencies)
