Since I came into Nostr I became a #bitcoin hater due to the amount of spam on this topic here.

But I was lucky enough to read "Grokking Bitcoin" from Kalle Rosenbaum.

It shows the Bitcoin algos from inside and now I understand why this is much better than fiat.

Basically in fiat world, people have their economic activity registered in accounting books run by banks and central banks. The problem is that the Accountant is free to fraud the book to give him undue points, which later they use to buy all assets in the economy.

This fraud is done at least at a 7% rate per year in some countries, and at a much higher rate in other countries.

In this analogy, Bitcoin is an accounting book that no one can tamper with.

Yes, that is exactly why we can't stop talking about it. Because the people we love they can't seem to just sit down for an hour with us and realize what you just explained.

In my comparison, gold supply works as a accounting system in which fraud is prevented by the laws of chemistry and geology.

Fiat currencies is an accounting system in which fraud is prevented by human laws (which are a joke), and BTC is an accounting system in which fraud is prevented by computer science laws, which are mich stronger than the ones above
