What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is like online money, similar to Venmo or ApplePay. The big difference? With Bitcoin, there are no middlemen and it works globally. You pay someone directly, and no one can block or take a cut of your transaction. This is called "decentralized."
Another big thing about Bitcoin: it holds its value over time, like gold. Why? Because thereโs a limited amount of it โ this is called โscarcity.โ
Right now, our dollar system is struggling. Since 2008, the government has been printing money at a crazy rate. That means your savings might not go as far in the future. Many worry the current system could break down, whether itโs 10 years from now or sooner.
Bitcoin is different. Itโs designed to keep value for the long haul. Think of it like digital gold: limited, valuable, and built for our online world. Itโs a way to save and send money securely, built for the future.
