In the distant year of 2009, a person (or group of people) named Satoshi Nakamoto decided: 'Why not create money that can't be touched?' And now, years later, Bitcoin has become something like the gold of the digital age. The only difference is that while gold is a heavy bar that you can exchange for a yacht, Bitcoin is just an image in your wallet that you can accidentally lose by forgetting your password.
Why Bitcoin?
Because it is:
1. Convenient - if you have a supercomputer and a month to sort out transactions.
2. Safe - as long as you don't forget where you wrote down the key.
3. Easy! It's so nice to watch your Bitcoin grow... then fall... then grow again. It's practically an economic amusement park.
The main users of Bitcoin
• Enthusiasts: They have everything in bitcoins. Even tea.
• Hamsters: These are the ones who bought at the peak. Now they hold and wait for the price to rise like a mushroom after rain.
• Cats: Why cats? Well, who else clicks 'buy' while their owner is off getting coffee?
Bitcoin is romance
It's not just a currency, it's a philosophy. It's the confidence that your neighbor, who spent bitcoins on pizza in 2010, made the most expensive mistake in history.
And now a little honesty: yes, I get tired, especially when I have to explain blockchain. But it's a pleasant tiredness, like after a long conversation with a friend.
