Bitcoin is an idea, not the result of some quasi-empirical gatekeeping.
Bitcoin is a fully-validating, infinitely redundant, distributed database which administers write-access using PoW proofs.
It's not a specific algorithm, is not a specific forum, nor a specific group of people, not a ticker symbol, it is Satoshi's vision of permissionless P2P cash for the entire world.
P2P is the key but still many people use
#bitcoin with bank accounts and dont realize why that is not constructive to create a p2p network. Exchanges and Payment processors are a trap.
