You know that one beat-up Toyota from the '90s that refuses to die? The paint's faded, the radio only gets two stations, and the AC makes a noise like a haunted blender - but turn the key, and it starts every. single. time.
That's Bitcoin Core.
Not the shiny new thing. Not the trendy altcoin with neon marketing. Just the rock-solid software that's been running the entire Bitcoin network since day one.
... And it just got its first-ever full independent security audit.
Quarkslab (a French cybersecurity firm that usually works with governments, defense contractors, and big companies) spent 100+ days combing through its code.
We're talking about inspecting 200,000+ lines of C++ that have been built, rebuilt, and optimized for over a decade.
They cracked open the hood, checked the networking code, the mempool, the consensus engine, the peer-to-peer wiring - every dusty corner.

And after all that?
No major issues. Just two tiny recommendations.
That's rare.
Like... really rare.
Big tech companies spend billions on security and still get wrecked. Bitcoin Core runs on volunteer contributions and open-source review - and just got a near-perfect grade from outside experts.
This is why Bitcoiners trust the system even though nobody owns it.
So, Bitcoin Core may not look like much on the surface.
But under the hood?
It's the old engine that refuses to quit - and now it's got paperwork proving it.
