#Bitcoin  seems to most people, whose whole life is deeply embedded in the traditional financial system, to be way out on the fringe.

Asking someone to believe bitcoin can be a global reserve asset is like asking them to breathe a new gas that’s not air.

However, if you take the time to look at the human-manipulated system that is traditional finance you begin to understand all the inequalities and distortions fiat currencies create around the world.

Then compare this to bitcoin which is completely abstracted away from human interference (even maintaining its own time/clock through the creation of transaction blocks) and you begin to see a battle tested, hard money that so far (15 years) hasn’t been corrupted.

Bitcoin is not a business. It has no CEO, board of directors, no bankers, no marketing department.

Bitcoin is a protocol for value much as email is a protocol for messages.

Then if you look at the enterprises and infrastructure being built around this incorruptible core (from mining, to payment solutions to wallets and storage etc.) you see the beginnings of a new economy, similar to the growth of the internet in the ‘90s.

At a time of inflation and debasement of traditional currencies, at a time of national debts that will never be repaid, it’s worth understanding why bitcoin is a bridge to an alternative.

#Bitcoin  is hard to understand and easy to dismiss.
