Permissionlesss
Just like cash, you can exchange it digitally, person to person, because it’s permission-less. You have the freedom to simply memorize your private key (password), and store you life savings in your brain in Bitcoin. No more worrying about delays in bank transfers, currency exchanges, account freezes or anything else that gets in the way of your every day purchasing habits. Pay for anything at any time, anywhere.
Bitcoin payments aren’t tied to your personal information, therefore you aren’t as exposed to threats like identity theft. Bitcoin can also be backed up and encrypted to ensure the security of your money. Bitcoin lets you opt-out of the broken financial system (which btw tracks all your financial activity) whenever you want. Bitcoin lets you truly protect your identity. In Bitcoin, no one can hack your credit card, steal your money, or sell your data
Bitcoin can only be used by the owner (YOU!) of the cryptographic private key (or your secret password) which controls the funds. Basically, cryptography keeps your money safe so only you can spend it. This pseudonymous nature (again, thanks to cryptography) gives people privacy, autonomy, and certainty in their transactions. Just think of it like tipping your bartender with a $20 bill, *but in super-secret-ninja mode.
Bitcoin Is Freedom Money (An Accountable/Reliable UoA)
A money’s unit of account allows us to measure our productivity, investment, and most importantly, our time. In a fiat-world where the supply of money is centralized and inflated by a higher authority, each unit that we worked for loses value and becomes less accountable. All of our time that we invested to make money has been stolen from us and seems like a waste. Not under a Bitcoin Standard.
Major players in the world economy are realizing that fiat currency is no longer accountable, nor reliable to hold and appreciate their hard-earned wealth. Companies like Microstrategies see that Bitcoin has more long-term appreciation than holding cash
Each Bitcoin is divisible into 100 million units each (satoshis). Since there’s a finite supply, the value of each satoshi increases, and is able to buy more goods/services with less units of the money (like buying a milk shake for a nickel). This makes it a deflationary currency, which are designed to combat the government’s hidden tax of inflation and redistribute your hard-earned wealth (AKA the Cantillon Effect).
Trust
Today, we're forced to trust heavily centralized institutions, like payment processors and central banks, will keep our money safe. Just as people had to trust the gold in their vaults was solvent, relying on today’s clunky, expensive, inefficient middle men, puts us at risk of hacks, fraud, theft, and censorship.
We have no choice but to depend on these oracles behind the scenes just to make our money work (most of the time, if we’re lucky…)
Solution: Bitcoin is Freedom Money: No more having to hold strangers accountable for your wealth…
