During its 11 years of existence (since the first Bitcoin block was mined), BTC has been able to survive mainly because there’s no single entity controlling it. The distribution of wealth is one of the key factors in any type of economy.

The distribution of hashpower or the amount of computing power securing a digital currency network could be an even more important factor to consider when analysing crypto platforms. Bitcoin ‘relies on decentralisation at this level in order to meet its goals of sustaining a secure, censorship-resistant payments and savings system,’ as stated by the report from Coin Metrics.
