Why Bitcoin is The Sh*t! πŸ•΅πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Many people like to argue about Bitcoin not being a real currency vs. The Dollar being a "real" currency. Most of the time, people who say this, don't really know how the monetary system works. They believe that our currency is pure, and trustworthy because of what we know of it today. If you ask a a toddler to tell you what has more value, a gold coin or a $100 bill, they will tell you the gold coin has more value, & they're absolutely right! Fiat money is not backed up by anything. It was backed up once upon a time, but that ship has long sailed!

If you don't already know, there is only so much gold we can mine until it is all dug up. Meaning that gold is scarce because gold doesn't grow from the ground. Gold made its way to Earth millions and millions of years ago from space. Our fiat money however, is printed, everyday, probably every hour, maybe even 24/7. Regardless, we print money like crazy because we are 20 trillion dollars in debt.

This is what 15 trillion looks like... now imagine 20 trillion and it's only going up!

People might think, "Oh yeah, just let them keep printing money to pay off our debt!" Sure let's go ahead and do that and make everything increase in price. That means, if you were paying $3.00 for milk, now you're paying $5-$7 for one gallon of milk. This is what inflation causes; prices rise, taxes rise, and our dollar value decreases. People misinterpret inflation and may not know the real reason behind it. It's quite simple, we are printing too much money!

Once countries realize they don't need our money because there's so much of it, guess who is getting all that printed money back? That's right, us! Making everyone into poor Billionaires.

This is where Bitcoin comes into effect. Bitcoin is like digital gold. What I mean by digital gold is simply the role it plays is like gold. There is only 21 Million Bitcoins ever to be mined. Once the last Bitcoin is mined, there cannot be anymore Bitcoin replicated or mined. That's it, no more. So what does that mean? Sacricity and increase of value. My predictions with Bitcoin is that it will be used to buy houses, yachts, cars, boats, etc.. in the Future. It will be equivalent to Gold, because of its value.

This house was purchased with Bitcoin in Austin Texas 2017. This is only the beginning.

To store your Bitcoins, you do not need an agent, nor an account. All you need is a wallet. There are many wallets out there that you can download on your phone or PC. You are the ONLY person who has access to YOUR money, YOUR Bitcoin. You don't have to worry about paying fees to hold your Bitcoin in these wallets, you don't have to wait 3-7 days for a transaction to go through, not even 5 mintues to be honest. Best part about Bitcoin, is that it is Global. That's right! WORLDWIDE 🌎 So if you have a Bitcoin wallet, and you want to send money to your family, say they live in Puerto Rico or Mexico. You can send it and they will receive it instantly. You don't have to go to a western union pay a fee to send YOUR money. You don't have to go to a bank, wait a week for them to receive your money. It literally takes seconds for them to receive it. Seconds!

If you'd like to invest in Bitcoin, you can start by investing with Coinbase. Unfortunately, because it is No longer legal in Hawaii, we go to Bitcoin ATM's in the city to purchase ours. If it's legal in your state or country here is a link for you to download on your cellar device.

People will believe what they want to believe. People say that Bitcoin is for "bad" people to use in the black market and for drugs. However, isn't that what our currency is used for as well? You think the government is really using it for "The Good of the People". Some of it yes, but a large portion of it is not. Cash is untraceable, yet people fail to realize that when they hear about Bitcoin. The media wants you to believe Bitcoin is bad and Fiat currency is good. What's going to happen when our market crashes, the banks take all your money and you are left with nothing, because of the trust you had for these banks? Of course they're going to tell you it's bad, because they lose business and money!

Sooner or later, this will be the U.S fiat Currency. Shout out to badcryptoPodcast for this post! @teedubya

Bitcoin is much more than a currency. It is powered by blockchain technology, which other big corporations are using because of its trust. It is very hard for your Bitcoin, or anything on the blockchain to get hacked.
Blockchain- "A global network of computers use blockchain technology to jointly manage the date base that records Bitcoin transactions. Bitcoin is managed by its network and not any one central authority. Decentralization means the network operates on a user-to-user (peer-to-peer) basis."
https://blockgeeks.com/guides/what-is-blockchain-technology/

It's never too late to invest, for Bitcoin is still growing and still being mined.
We as human beings, have grown to believe nothing is as good as it seems. However, Bitcoin has been able to prove that it is just as good if not better than it seems! Bitcoin is just the beginning of a new Generation and I cannot wait to see what our future holds.

Brilliant article thank you for sharing your views on bitcoin.

Been saying forever. Bitcoin is the new gold standard(or will be)!

Nodes are said to be β€œmining” Bitcoin, but the term is something of a misnomer. In fact, each one is competing to win Bitcoins by solving computational puzzles. Bitcoin was the raison d’etre of the blockchain as it was originally conceived. It’s now recognized to be only the first of many potential applications of the technology.

There are an estimated 700 Bitcoin-like cryptocurrencies (exchangeable value tokens) already available. As well, a range of other potential adaptations of the original blockchain concept are currently active, or in development.

β€œBitcoin has the same character a fax machine had. A single fax machine is a doorstop. The world where everyone has a fax machine is an immensely valuable thing.”

That's one powerful fax machine πŸ˜‚
