Author's note
Bitcoin is more than a technology or an investment; let's understand together why it has already changed the world beyond its adoption and use.
Bitcoin is more important to everyone than any topic, even artificial intelligence. And not because it gives us more freedom or some kind of power. But because Bitcoin is money; we have smart money. We have digital gold. 🍊
Money is not God, but it's similar; some even confuse money with love. Money is the environment through which people exchange products and services; it is the origin of any kind of evolution.
It's not relevant for everyone to understand, but many spend their lives trying to control or obtain it.
In the end, I can only tell you one thing about Bitcoin to help you perceive it more objectively: the important thing is not the price.
If you’ve made it this far, you’re already part of the tribe—the curious, the skeptical, the idealists who believe technology can empower individuals.
