The Core Issue: Letter From The Editor
Summary
The editor's letter emphasizes that while Bitcoin is a distributed system relying on widespread participation, its fundamental existence depends on the underlying software, which requires dedicated human developers. Since this specialized work often goes unnoticed, this specific issue of Bitcoin Magazine, titled "The Core Issue," aims to provide a deeper understanding of the contributions made to Bitcoin Core, the predominant software implementation. Many articles within the issue are written by the Core Developers themselves, explaining their past, current, and future work to ensure Bitcoin continues to function.
