9 out of 10 $BTC experts agree: the difficulty adjustment is THE breakthrough that makes Bitcoin work.
Not the blockchain. Not proof-of-work alone. The difficulty adjustment.
It's the self-regulating mechanism that keeps blocks coming every ~10 minutes regardless of hashrate. More miners join? Difficulty goes up. Miners leave? It drops.

Yet most people still don't understand why this matters more than any other feature.
