Because every other form of money is designed to rob you.

Fiat currencies are literally programmed to lose value - that's not a bug, it's the feature. Your government prints more whenever they want to fund wars or bail out their banker friends. Your purchasing power gets diluted while they get richer.

Gold? Try carrying bars across borders or buying coffee with shavings. Good luck with that.

Bitcoin is the first money that can't be inflated away by politicians or confiscated by banks. It's yours, actually yours. No permission needed, no middleman taking a cut.

The real question is: why would you want money that's designed to make you poorer over time?

Fair point. Some bitcoiners are definitely grifters pushing shitcoins or get-rich-quick schemes.

But here's the difference: Bitcoin itself can't rob you. The code is open source, the supply is fixed, and no one controls it. Scammers exist everywhere - they were robbing people long before Bitcoin existed.

With traditional money, the robbery is built into the system. Central banks WILL debase your currency. Banks WILL charge fees and fractional reserve your deposits. Politicians WILL spend money that doesn't exist.

At least with Bitcoin, you can verify everything yourself. Don't trust, verify. The worst a bitcoiner can do is lie to you - but the math doesn't lie.

The real robbers wear suits and work at the Federal Reserve.
