Bitcoin is money, everything else sucks
But what makes bitcoin money?
It's portability as a digital cash makes it the prime candidate for use in the post internet era, it's scarcity makes it attractive and beneficial to it's users, it's decentralized nature takes the control out of the hands of meddlers, shit I forgot the others it's been a while and I've had a couple martinis, oh yeah it's divisibility means it can be exchanged with ease, uhhhhh I know there's more
These are (most of) the properties of a good money but what is money itself?
Oh man I haven't racked my brain this hard since the championship tour of 1996, I feel like I'm on a game show!
Money is the medium in which humans exchange goods and services like being the best golfer of all time and winning.
Despite this string of replies bots will swoop in with 20 and take the sats without fail because they love magic internet money 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡 cheers m8
I would say it’s more like the medium in which humans transfer economic energy. Just like when you transfer enough energy into your ball off the tee to hit Elon on mars
A battery for time & energy. 🤙
This is an interesting answer, I like this metaphor of a battery
Humanity is an open system (in the scientific sense) that can accumulate an exponential amount of energy from our environment relative to the amount of energy expended; Satoshi made #Bitcoin / #BTC because he saw entropy in the system & created a machine where we can indefinitely store the exponential energy arbitrage of the entire species. 🤙
Beautiful answer
I think I like this one best. But it’s really hard to explain this concept to a normie
"You know how batteries degrade over time & can hold less of a charge until it finally dies & no matter what you do it won't hold a charge? That's #fiat. 💁♂️
#Bitcoin / #BTC is a battery whose capacity doesn't deplete & also expands over time, even without you topping it up because other people are constantly trickle-charging it for you." 🤙
Money Is TRUST,
&
TRUST is #Bitcoin.
Why is money trust?
🤙
Bitcoin.
Why is bitcoin money?
It’s the hardest, fairest, and most secure money ever invented.
But what is money?
Money is a tool for exchange that allows humans to store, measure & transfer value over time and space.
Good money has core properties such as durable, portable, divisible,fungible,recognizable, scarce
Bitcoin fits all. Better than anything before. It’s money upgraded for the digital age.
This is a good answer
#Bitcoin and It is money.
It's more than digital money — it's a decentralized network, a store of value, and a revolutionary idea.
Humans are apex predators.
We hunt. We dominate. We eat meat.
It’s in our blood to conquer what’s weaker.
Bitcoin is no different.
It’s the apex predator of MONEY..
It devours fiat. It crushes shitcoins.
It eats everything fake and fragile in its path.
& It's going up forever...
I like this framing! No doubt Bitcoin is the king of the money jungle but I’m trying to get to the root of what money is, not which is the best.
Fiat money is a form of currency issued by a government, and Bitcoin is money that operates on a decentralized blockchain network.
That’s describing bad money vs good money, what is money itself?
Money isn't everything, but how it helps!
Helps with what?
₿ 🤷♂️
🍻🧡👊🏻
lets do it!
Money is whatever we all say it is 🤝
time
What makes it time?
