The best way to think about Bitcoin is to imagine it’s the year 1900 and someone just introduced electricity to your town. They tell you, “This new thing — electricity — is going to power hospitals, cars, planes, trains, homes, schools, and even become part of your education.”

Naturally, your first question is: What does this mean for me?

It might sound intimidating or exciting — but either way, it deserves your attention.

Bitcoin is similar. It’s a paradigm shift. Just as electricity was physical energy, Bitcoin is digital energy. You probably didn’t expect to see something like it in your lifetime, but it’s here — and it will touch every part of society in the years to come.

Back then, people had decades to grasp the full impact of electricity. With Bitcoin, the timeline is shorter — maybe a decade. It’s new, complex, and sometimes overwhelming. But it’s also full of opportunity.

Everyone can benefit from it, but to do so, it’s worth taking the time to really understand it. Only then can you fully appreciate the value it brings.
