Money as a representation of value:

Imagine you wake up everyday, expand your energy in a productive enterprise.

1. You make coffee, someone appreciate your coffee and exchange your coffee with a value.

2. You swept the floor for someone, they appreciate your work and exchange your hard work with a value.

3. Like David Beckham, you score a tremendous goal and bring a moment of joy to millions and they show their appreciation and you received millions in value.

Now, imagine you must spend all the value in a single day else they degrade to nothing by tomorrow.

Most will think that is horrible. But what if they degrade in a week? Or a year? Or 10 years?

Would you prefer to store all the value into something that does not degrade? That is why gold has been a store of value for thousands of years. They can hardly degrade but their supply does gradually increase even though at a slow rate.

But when you store them in fiat currencies, the degradation is a certainty. In Malaysia, the Ringgit has degrade over the past 12 years in the range of 30% - 100% depending on how you measure them.

Bitcoin fixes this.

Store your value in something that do not degrade.
