Don’t trust and verify it, Satoshi.

Satoshi emphasized the need for fast distribution and validation of transactions, with a maximum processing time of 10 seconds across all nodes, to prevent double spending💰.

When a node receives a transaction, it must quickly validate and spread the information to all nodes to prevent attackers from spending the same amount in another transaction. 🚀 Fast distribution and validation can outcompete other nodes that have seen the same transaction from the same spender.
