Welcome to episode 4 of Satoshi's Complete Writings, Proof of Work.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,120
In a decentralized network with no leader, how do you decide what's true?

3
00:00:09,780 --> 00:00:13,700
You can't just vote. Anyone could create millions of fake identities.

4
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,700
Satoshi's solution was elegant. Make votes expensive.

5
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:24,140
Proof of Work ties voting power to computational resources, making Sybil attacks economically prohibitive.
