Ham jumped up and meowed loudly. “The software that we run is open source! That means that the code is freely available for anyone to see, use, and even improve. One time, the Fox Sisters suggested a clever idea for contactless payment. We adopted it and use it to make transactions at the Great Bark Market even easier. Anyone can run a node and contribute to the network, friends or enemies. Since there is no one person in charge of Bitcoin, there is no single point of failure.”

“Open source is sort of like how we all work together here in the Forest. We all agree to a set of rules and no One Creature is in charge because we are all in charge! We are free to make changes to Forest Operations, but everyone has to agree on the change. Forest Operations keep everyone honest, even if they are Sneaky Creatures.”

Sam had a feeling that Bitcoin was going to change things for him.
