"Bitcoin is often referred to as a secure timestamping service. We never had a global record of truth with trustworthy timestamps, so how did this come about? Itâs generally due to Proof of Work being combined to a few simple rules by which miners must abide." â Jameson Lopp
Can Bitcoin's sense of time be broken? The security and probabilistic assurances of Bitcoin seem simple on their face, but when you dive a little deeper, there is so often tons of nuance and quiet brilliance to unpack around even a seemingly simple element, like recording what time the block was produced. Jameson Lopp brings us another excellent deep dive into the nature of Bitcoin as a secure timestamp server. What it means, how reliable it truly is, and what it looks like when it breaks.
