Dad: Son, so, Bitcoin is open-source? What does this mean exactly?
Son: Hi Dad,
The term open source refers to something anyone can independently review, modify and share because its design is publicly accessible.
Dad: So, everything is public and there are no secrets, except your own?
Son: Your private keys are private, of course.
Everything else is public and auditable. In this beautiful asymmetry lies the true power of Bitcoin.
