Not a company — open source
No CEO. No headquarters. Code anyone can read.
- CEO and board
- Can change rules
- Open-source rules
- No single owner
Bitcoin is not a company. There is no CEO, no stock ticker, no customer support line. It was released as open-source software — rules written in code that anyone can read, copy, and run. Thousands of independent computers follow the same rules worldwide.
People ask "who runs Bitcoin?" — the honest answer is: the rules run it, beta.
