"We do not defend nature. We are nature defending itself." This indigenous proverb illustrates the capacity of the natural world to survive crises without seeking absolute optimization. It reminds us that resilience is at the heart of living beings. Nature does not aim for speed or immediate efficiency, but for diversity and adaptation. Certain animal species, in particular, traverse the ages by evolving in response to threats. Similarly, Bitcoin does not rely on instant performance, but on its resilience due to its decentralized architecture. It follows the same laws of nature, being able to withstand multiple attacks and bans. The parallel drawn in this article between nature and Bitcoin raises an essential question about the model to adopt. Should we prioritize efficiency or resilience, in order to ensure the sustainability of a world in constant digital evolution?
